Brazil’s Supreme Court opens public hearings on lifting the iGaming ban

The Supreme Court of Brazil began public hearings today on whether to overturn the country’s ban on iGaming. For PSPs, acquirers, and payment partners, this is the kind of legal process that can decide whether a market stays closed, opens up, or keeps everyone waiting in regulatory limbo.

1. The hearings started today in Brazil’s Supreme Court, with the court examining the question of whether the iGaming ban should be removed.
2. The source does not provide details on the scope of the hearings, the parties participating, or the timing of any ruling, so the only hard fact on the table is that the public process has begun.
3. For high-risk payments players, the relevance is straightforward: a change in the legal status of iGaming in Brazil would affect merchant onboarding, acquiring strategy, fraud controls, and the decision whether to support the vertical at all.
