How we know, and what we could not confirm
How we know: 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.
- The ultimate owner (the people or company at the top) is not published.
5 sister casinos
Same owner often means the same terms, the same support team and the same payout rules. A self-exclusion at one brand may not cover its sister sites.
