Brazil's self-exclusion registry passes 1.2 million in eight months

Brazil's centralized betting self-exclusion platform has recorded more than 1.2 million voluntary registrations since its launch in December 2025, according to data released by the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting. The figure represents 3 percent of the 40 million active taxpayer identification numbers registered in Brazil's Betting Management System.

The total exceeds the absolute registration volumes of comparable national programs in the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Germany, each of which required between four and eight years to reach their current figures. The UK's GAMSTOP accumulated 614,738 registrations across eight years of operation.

Brazil's fixed-odds betting market has been regulated for approximately 20 months, following Law 14.790/2023 taking effect in January 2025.

Direct comparison with European self-exclusion rates requires adjustment. Brazil's 3 percent figure is calculated against active registered bettors, while published rates in the UK and Sweden are typically drawn from total adult population. Germany's OASIS system also permits multiple registrations per individual, which affects cumulative totals.

The scale of uptake within a newly regulated market will draw attention from regulators assessing consumer protection frameworks elsewhere, including the FCA, which is currently reviewing its own approach to retail access for prediction market products.
