Court Suspends Injunction That Let Stake Brasil Keep Operating

Overview

• The president of the Federal Regional Court for the 3rd Region, Johonsom Di Salvo, suspended on Friday the lower‑court injunction that had allowed Stake Brasil to operate temporarily.
• A São Paulo federal judge had granted Stake a limited authorization to run until October 25 under strict consumer‑protection conditions after rejecting the company’s request to operate through 2029.
• The federal government’s legal office (AGU) appealed the lower ruling, arguing that exempting a single operator would create regulatory inequality and risk undermining the provisional measure’s nationwide policy.
• With the suspension in place, federal agencies may resume domain blocks and other restriction measures tied to the MP, affecting site access and the flow of customer funds pending further court rulings.
• The broader constitutional dispute over the provisional measure remains before the Supreme Federal Court, where industry groups and broadcasters challenge the ban and where further judicial outcomes will determine the long‑term rules and impacts on bettors, clubs and media contracts.
