How we know, and what we could not confirm
How we know: 1xBet announced its Brazilian licence; the SPA list names Defy Ltda for 1xbet.bet.br. Brazil-only .bet.br site. MP 1.394/2026 (25 Sep 2026) banned fixed-odds betting in Brazil: sites had to go offline from 6 Oct 2026 and all SPA authorisations end on 25 Oct 2026. The MP still needs approval by Congress and is challenged at the STF.
