Brazil Sets Dec. 10 Launch for Gov.br Betting Self-Exclusion

Overview

• Ministers Fernando Haddad and Alexandre Padilha signed a five-year technical cooperation to coordinate prevention, care and oversight across the betting sector.
• The centralized registry will require a gov.br silver or gold login and lets users block themselves for 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months or indefinitely, stopping access to licensed sites and targeted ads.
• After enrolling, users receive confirmation and are directed to SUS resources, self-assessment tools and guidance for seeking help.
• SUS telehealth focused on gambling-related issues will start in February 2026 with Hospital Sírio-Libanês, initially offering about 450 remote consultations per month with scope to expand.
• Authorities will track CPF-linked behavior such as time online, number of platforms used and amounts wagered and lost, with potential health notifications, while pursuing AML gaps cited by Haddad and building on prior rules like beneficiary blocks and payment and advertising controls.
