Brazil’s Congress has already received 42 amendments to the president’s betting ban bill

Brazil’s proposed betting ban is already getting the legislative treatment: 42 amendments have been filed in Congress. For PSPs and acquiring teams, the number matters because it signals that the final shape of the rulebook is still open, and in high-risk payments the difference between a ban, a restriction, and a carve-out is the whole business model.

1. According to the source, the bill submitted by Brazil’s president to prohibit betting has already attracted 42 amendments in Congress. That means the text is not moving through as a clean, closed package; lawmakers are actively trying to change it.
2. For operators and payment providers serving Brazil, the practical takeaway is simple: do not read the president’s proposal as the final word. In legislative processes like this, the details that matter most for payments — whether certain betting flows remain permitted, what gets blocked, and what compliance obligations are attached — are often decided in amendments, not in the headline bill.
3. The source does not name the specific amendments or say which ones have support. So the only hard fact here is that the bill is in play and under revision, not that the prohibition will pass in its original form.
