A Brazilian federal appeals court has granted CDA Gaming Ltda. provisional relief against the early termination of its fixed-odds betting authorization under Provisional Measure MP 1.394/2026. The November 3, 2026 order applies to the individual operator; it is not a Supreme Federal Court ruling or a general reopening of Brazil's gambling market.
What happened on November 3
Reporting on Appeal No. 5034200-15.2026.4.03.0000 identifies federal appellate judge Adriana Pileggi of TRF3 as the judge who issued interim relief. The measure suspends, for CDA Gaming, the licence-ending effects of Article 4 of MP 1.394/2026 while the underlying legal challenge proceeds. The court also addressed restrictions affecting domains and essential operational, financial and payment services. The outcome remains provisional and subject to further judicial action.
Which brands are covered?
CDA Gaming is associated with Casa de Apostas, Betsul and Jogo Online. It held authorization under SPA/MF Ordinance No. 255/2025, described in the reporting as valid until December 2029 before the provisional measure intervened. The decision benefits CDA Gaming, not every operator affected by the national policy. Existing regulatory obligations and state supervision continue to apply.
Does this mean Betsul is fully back online?
No automatic conclusion follows from an interim licence ruling. Restoration of a legal authorization is distinct from confirmation that each brand's website, payment channels and customer accounts are currently operational. At publication, BetVerity has not independently verified successful customer logins, withdrawals or fresh bets on all three brands. Readers should rely on current company notices and regulator records rather than assuming that any balance or service has already been restored.
What about player funds and pending withdrawals?
The operator argued for continued access to back-office and banking infrastructure, including channels needed to refund customers and meet reporting duties. The ruling addresses access to those systems, but it is not evidence that any particular withdrawal has been processed. Customers should retain transaction records and contact the relevant operator support and competent regulator for case-specific information.
Why is this legally important?
The injunction highlights disputes over the proportionality of ending existing betting authorizations and operators' reliance on prior licensing decisions. Related constitutional litigation over MP 1.394/2026 is also before the Supreme Federal Court, but CDA Gaming's provisional TRF3 order has a narrower scope. BetVerity will track any appeal, reversal or final judgment and update this report when official documentation becomes available.
Verification and limits
The case identifier, judge, brands, administrative authorization and provisional effect are consistently reported by specialist Brazilian legal and gambling publications. BetVerity has not independently retrieved the sealed or full signed court order through a publicly accessible official docket at the time of writing. The ruling is therefore attributed to those reports, and its practical implementation remains unverified.
