TL;DR
- TRF-3 suspended a preliminary injunction that allowed CDA Gaming to operate three betting sites.
- The decision was announced by Minister Jorge Messias of the Attorney General's Office.
- The suspended injunction had temporarily reinstated the company's authorization, previously halted by Provisional Measure 1.394/2026.
- The sites affected are Casa de Apostas, Betsul, and Jogo Online.
- The president of TRF-3, Luis Antonio Johonsom Di Salvo, granted the Union's request to extend a previous decision and suspend the company's injunction.
- The ruling cited the ongoing Supreme Court (STF) review of betting regulations, arguing lower courts should not preempt these decisions.
- A previous injunction by Judge Adriana Pileggi had argued that the termination of authorizations without compensation was detrimental to companies and violated principles of legal certainty, reasonableness, and proportionality.
- CDA Gaming reportedly paid R$ 30 million for its federal license, granted in 2025 and valid until December 31, 2029.
- President Di Salvo had previously halted an injunction for Stake in October, citing regulatory asymmetry.
- Provisional Measure 1.394/2026 prohibits the operation, offering, intermediation, and advertising of fixed-odds betting in Brazil, pending congressional approval and STF review.
