In our editorial check, 1win does not appear on the list of companies authorized by the Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) of the Ministério da Fazenda (MF). Medida Provisória (Provisional Measure) No. 1.394, of September 25, 2026, banned the operation, offering and advertising of fixed-odds betting across the entire national territory, including offerings by operators based abroad.
Before the Brazilian ban, the brand had already been the target of regulatory actions in Colombia. The sections below detail each of these situations based on available sources.
SPA/MF registry and editorial verification
The Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas (SPA), linked to the Ministério da Fazenda (MF), maintains a public page listing companies authorized to operate the lottery modality of fixed-odds betting. This list functions as the registry of operators that received federal authorization to operate in the Brazilian market. As stated on the page itself, the last update occurred on October 1, 2026, at 15:44.
The page includes a notice about Medida Provisória No. 1.394, of September 25, 2026, which banned the operation, offering and advertising of fixed-odds betting lotteries across the entire national territory. In our editorial verification, the 1win brand does not appear on this list. This means the company was not part of the roster of operators authorized by the competent federal body as of the date recorded on the page. Consulting this list allows one to verify which companies held valid authorization to operate fixed-odds betting in the country.
Provisional measure: scope and effective period
Medida Provisória No. 1.394, of September 25, 2026, took effect on the date of its publication, as stated in the text available on the Planalto portal. The measure banned the operation, offering and advertising of fixed-odds betting lotteries, whether in physical or virtual form, across the entire national territory. The ban extends to operations conducted by operators based abroad.
The provisional measure stipulates that fixed-odds betting authorizations expire at the end of a thirty-day period from publication. The text defines a betting operator agent as a legal entity that has received authorization to operate this modality. With the expiration of these authorizations, operators become subject to the restitution mechanism provided for in the measure itself.
Since September 25, 2026, sports betting and online casinos have been banned in Brazil, as recorded on the Brasil sem Bets portal. This portal serves as a public guidance channel regarding the effects of the ban and the procedures for returning funds.
Territorial scope of the ban
Fund restitution: deadlines and mechanisms provided
The Brasil sem Bets portal states that platforms were required to keep their sites online and allow fund withdrawals until 23:59 on October 5, 2026. Those who did not withdraw by that date are to receive their balance back automatically from the banks that operate with the platforms, between October 9 and 14, 2026. If the balance is not returned during that period, the official guidance is to contact Caixa Econômica Federal starting October 14.
The text of the provisional measure details the mechanism: restitution to bettors is carried out by the financial and payment institutions that maintain the transactional accounts of the betting operator agents. These institutions have seven days, counted from receipt of the information sent by the operators, to process the refund. Amounts that cannot be returned through this channel are directed to a specific account at Caixa Econômica Federal.
Blocks by Coljuegos in Colombia
Coljuegos, Colombia's gaming regulator, published a bulletin on February 21, 2025, regarding the blocking of betting sites operating without authorization in the country. According to the statement, the entity blocked 409 portals associated with the brands 1Win, 1XBET, BBRBET and Pinnacle, which were operating from abroad without the respective Colombian authorization.
Separately, Coljuegos reported that 141 sites associated with the 1Win brand were removed. The regulator warned that players who bet on sites of these brands may lose their deposits, as the platforms will be blocked. The statement predates the federal ban adopted in Brazil by more than a year.
