Stake Brasil wins São Paulo court protection as only licensed operator

The 9th Federal Civil Court of São Paulo granted Stake Brasil a partial preliminary injunction on 12 October, preserving the company's fixed-odds betting authorisation against Provisional Measure 1,394/2026. The order runs until 25 October. Under its terms, Stake Brasil's website cannot be blocked or redirected, its authorisation remains valid, and no sanctions can be imposed for operations conducted within the court's conditions.

Stake Brasil says it is the first licensed operator to obtain a ruling of this kind since the provisional measure was published. The company has paid the applicable authorisation fees and has complied with obligations imposed since the measure came into force.

The Brazilian court ruling follows a separate São Paulo decision covered earlier that blocked enforcement of the measure against Stake Brasil on different grounds. The 25 October expiry date is the next resolution point for any market tracking Brazilian licensing stability.
