Brazil’s president signs law sending 3% of legal bookmakers’ GGR to Federal Police funding

Brazil has formalized a new 3% allocation from the GGR (gross gaming revenue) of legal bookmakers to fund the Federal Police. For operators and their payment providers, the important part is not the headline number itself, but the fact that a direct statutory take from betting revenue is now embedded in the regime.

1. The law was signed by Brazil’s president and applies to legal bookmakers operating in the country. The measure directs 3% of their GGR to Federal Police funding, turning part of the sector’s revenue into a dedicated public-security allocation.
2. For PSPs, acquirers, and banking partners, this is the sort of change that matters at the platform level: it affects how the local betting framework is structured and how revenue flows are treated under the law. In practice, any operator serving Brazil now has one more mandatory line item tied to regulated turnover.
3. The source does not mention additional implementation details, timing, or any carve-outs. So the only clean takeaway is that Brazil has created a fixed 3% GGR-based funding mechanism for the Federal Police within the legal sportsbook market.
