The same page states that Provisional Measure 1.394 of 25 September 2026 prohibited the operation, offer and advertising of fixed-odds betting nationwide. The 85 figure is a count of register entries, not a count of unique parent companies. ## Key facts - The Ministry of Finance page is titled "Empresas Autorizadas até a vigência da MP nº 1.394/2026": authorised companies until Provisional Measure 1.394/2026 came into force. - The official table is numbered from 1 to 85\. A count of the CNPJ tax numbers in that table finds 82 unique companies, because three firms appear twice: OIG Gaming Brazil, Gamewiz Brasil and A2FBR. - The authorisations listed were issued under Laws 13.756 of 2018 and 14.790 of 2023, and were described as valid from 1 January 2025, until the provisional measure prohibited the product nationwide. - This is a regulated-market explainer, not a tips directory, an affiliate list or a second news story about the ban itself. __Official Brazilian register of authorised fixed-odds betting operators, Ministry of Finance / SPA page updated 9 October 2026\. Figures are register entries, not a commercial ranking.__ | Item | Official figure | | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Numbered register entries | 85 | | Unique CNPJ numbers in the same table | 82 | | Companies appearing twice | OIG Gaming Brazil Ltda, Gamewiz Brasil Ltda, A2FBR S.A. | | Page last updated | 9 October 2026 | | National prohibition | Provisional Measure 1.394, 25 September 2026 | ## What the register was Before the nationwide ban, Brazil ran a formal authorisation process for fixed-odds betting operators. The finance ministry's Secretariat of Prizes and Bets published the resulting list, with each entry showing the company name, CNPJ number, authorised brands, domains, the ministry ordinance that granted authorisation, and supporting documents. The page opened for this article still carries that table, headed as a list of companies authorised until Provisional Measure 1.394 of 25 September 2026\. A ministry notice at the top of the page says the measure prohibited, throughout the national territory, the operation, offer and advertising of fixed-odds betting lotteries, and links to the full text of the measure. The table is numbered through 85\. That is the official entry count. It is not the same thing as 85 unique parent companies. Three CNPJ numbers appear on two rows each: OIG Gaming Brazil Ltda, Gamewiz Brasil Ltda and A2FBR S.A. A fresh count of the tax numbers in the table therefore produces 82 unique companies and 85 register entries. This article uses the official entry count in the headline, and records the unique-CNPJ total as a qualifier. ## How the ban changed the commercial picture The register is now a historical record of the licensed market that existed until the provisional measure took effect. Operators on the list had been authorised to offer fixed-odds betting under the 2018 and 2023 laws, from 1 January 2025, and many of them had become shirt, sleeve or advertising partners for Brazilian clubs. The national prohibition removed that product, and with it a large block of sponsorship demand. This site's earlier report, [Brazil Betting Ban Puts R$1bn Football Sponsorship Revenue at Risk](https://www.footballbusinessnews.com/brazil-betting-ban-puts-r-1bn-football-sponsorship-revenue-at-risk/), covers that revenue shock. The register explains which authorised operators were on the books when the ban arrived. The commercial aftershocks are already showing up at state level. In Minas Gerais, an audit court has upheld a freeze on R$32 million of state-company sponsorships that had been offered to América, Atlético and Cruzeiro as compensation for betting-related losses, as reported in [TCE-MG Upholds Suspension of R$32m Club Sponsorships](https://www.footballbusinessnews.com/tce-mg-upholds-suspension-of-r-32m-club-sponsorships/). That case is about public companies stepping in after the ban, not about the register itself, but it is part of the same commercial sequence: a licensed betting market was built, then prohibited, and clubs are now looking for replacement shirt money. Many rows list more than one consumer brand under a single company, which is another reason the headline figure should be read as register entries. The table is a licensing record, not a brand-by-brand commercial census, and this article does not reproduce all 85 rows as a directory of sites or apps. ## What this list is not The 85 entries should not be read as a ranking of operators by revenue, handle or club-sponsorship spend. The official table does not publish those figures. It is also not a directory of sites that are legal to use today. The ministry's own heading and notice say the authorisations applied until the provisional measure prohibited the activity nationwide. National restrictions on betting sponsorships in other countries are covered separately in the site's list of [seven countries restricting football betting sponsorships](https://www.footballbusinessnews.com/7-countries-restricting-football-betting-sponsorships/). This article is a factual account of an official register and of the legal change that closed the market it described. It is not an advertisement for any operator, brand or betting product. **Sources** - [Ministério da Fazenda, "Empresas Autorizadas até a vigência da MP nº 1.394/2026", updated 9 October 2026](https://www.gov.br/fazenda/pt-br/composicao/orgaos/secretaria-de-premios-e-apostas/transparencia-ativa-processos-de-autorizacao-de-apostas-de-quota-fixa/empresas-autorizadas?ref=footballbusinessnews.com)
