Brazil prosecutors find 10 more illegal Aviator sites as MPDFT keeps Spribe probe open

A Brasília prosecutor has found ten additional websites offering Spribe’s Aviator, the “Jogo do Aviãozinho,” on betting platforms not authorized to operate in Brazil. For PSPs and suppliers in high-risk, the useful part is simple: the question is no longer just who licensed the game, but where it is actually being distributed.

1. Paulo Roberto Binicheski, a prosecutor with the Ministério Público do Distrito Federal e Territórios (MPDFT), decided on Wednesday (1º/7) to keep the civil investigation open after finding new sites offering Aviator. He also ordered the Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas do Ministério da Fazenda (SPA-MF) to be notified, together with the links and screenshots showing the game on illegal platforms.
2. The case did not stop when Spribe told prosecutors it had removed the game from the domains previously identified in the investigation. According to the company, it audited the mentioned domains “with the objective of verifying, in each case, the existence of original Spribe games, any integration by aggregators, the availability of demo versions or the presence of a non-authentic copy of the Aviator game.” Spribe said the original games identified on the cited sites were removed, except for one case involving a clone and another in beta version, which it says are not its responsibility.
3. Binicheski said that was not enough. In his order, he wrote that the company “continues to act reactively, as if the allocation of its game in illegal bets were not its responsibility” and therefore kept the investigation running. In plain terms, the prosecutor is treating distribution control as part of the problem, not a side note.
4. The inquiry was opened by the 1st Consumer Protection Prosecutor’s Office of the MPDFT in June 2026. It is examining whether Spribe makes Aviator available at the same time to operators authorized by the federal government, identified by the “.bet.br” domain, and to platforms operating clandestinely in Brazil.
5. The investigation also covers possible effects on consumers, competition, and Brazil’s online betting regulatory system. It is looking at possible misleading advertising, discrepancies between advertised and actual return-to-player rates, and bonus offers that may conflict with Ministry of Finance rules. Earlier, the MPDFT recommended that SPA assess suspending the technical certification of Aviator and other Spribe games until the company proved it had stopped supplying unauthorized operators; it also asked Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (Anatel) to review blocking the domains used to offer the game outside the regulated environment.

For high-risk operators and providers, the main operational signal here is that Brazilian regulators and prosecutors are looking beyond the licensed front-end. If a game keeps showing up on unlicensed domains after a supposed takedown, the conversation quickly moves from content licensing to distribution controls, certification risk, and how much responsibility vendors carry for downstream access.
