The Pix trademark

Pix is a trademark of the Central Bank of Brazil. This site is not official, does not represent the Central Bank and has no link with it, with banks or with payment institutions. Names of banks, fintechs and platforms mentioned belong to their owners and appear only to identify services.

Information and liability

The content is informational and does not replace professional advice. Rules, limits, times and amounts change over time and vary by institution, so treat the examples as a reference and always confirm in your bank's app or on the official site of the service. We are not liable for decisions made only on the basis of what is here.

How to check the licence of a betting operator

A platform that accepts Pix is not, for that reason, authorized to operate in Brazil. The Central Bank regulates Pix but does not license casinos or betting houses. Fixed-odds betting and online games were overseen by the Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA) of the Ministry of Finance under Law No. 14,790/2023.

The picture changed on 25 September 2026, when Provisional Measure No. 1,394 banned operating, offering, intermediating and advertising fixed-odds bets in Brazil, including by companies based abroad that serve people in the country. According to Agência Senado, existing authorizations end 30 days after publication and Congress has 120 days to vote on the measure, so the rules can still change. This page is informational and is not legal advice.

Before depositing, run this check:

  1. Open the official list of authorized companies published by the SPA on gov.br
  2. Look for the name of the company behind the platform, which usually appears in the site footer
  3. Compare the site address with what the list shows
  4. Read the terms of use, the bonus rules and the withdrawal conditions
  5. Be wary of platforms that do not name a company, a licence or a support channel in Portuguese

Official Brazilian federal government sources:

This site is not a gaming operator

We do not offer games, take bets or hold an operator licence. When we mention platforms, it is to inform. A name appearing here is neither a recommendation nor a guarantee of authorization.

Minimum age and responsible gambling

Casino games and betting are for adults aged 18 and over and are not a source of income. Set an amount that fits your budget, use the limits and self-exclusion offered by platforms, and seek specialized help if gambling stops being fun.

Advertising and informational content, intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. Play responsibly: gambling can be addictive.
