1xBet is one of the largest sportsbooks in the world by sheer market and event coverage, but its licensing history and a long list of regulatory bans (UK, US, Russia, France, Spain) and unresolved player complaints mean it's a materially higher-risk choice than a UKGC- or MGA-licensed operator. Its Trustpilot rating has been suspended for a guidelines breach.

Last verified: 6 October 2026. This is information about crypto-funded casino gaming and the law in Brazil. It is not legal advice, it is not a recommendation to use any gambling service, and it contains no operator rankings.
"Crypto casino" is a label for online casinos that accept cryptocurrency for deposits and withdrawals, sometimes exclusively. In many countries these services market themselves as faster, more private and more global than traditional casinos. Brazilian players have been curious about them, partly because crypto is widely known in Brazil and partly because the authorised market, built around the real and Pix, did not support crypto payments. This page explains what the law says about crypto casinos in Brazil, why paying in crypto does not change the legal analysis, what the main risks are, what changed on 25 September 2026 and how to protect yourself.
A crypto casino is a casino-style gambling service in which the cashier works with digital assets such as bitcoin, ether or stablecoins. Some convert deposits into a local currency; others keep balances in crypto and quote bets in coin units. The games themselves, such as slots, roulette, blackjack and live dealer tables, are the same kinds of games offered everywhere. Some crypto casinos also offer "provably fair" games, in which a cryptographic method lets a player check after the fact that a result was not altered. That is a technical feature of certain games; it does not mean that the casino is licensed, that it will pay out or that the odds are favourable.
Brazil's relationship with casino gambling is unusual. Decree-Law 9,215 of 30 April 1946 prohibited gambling games, and physical casinos have remained prohibited ever since. Law 13.756 of 2018 created the fixed-odds betting lottery modality, and Law 14.790 of 29 December 2023 authorised sports betting and online games, under the supervision of the Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) of the Ministry of Finance. From 1 January 2025, companies holding an SPA authorisation could offer online games to adults in Brazil.
A company needed an SPA authorisation (reported at R$ 30 million for five years), a local presence in Brazil and compliance with technical, payment, identity and responsible-gambling rules. Public summaries of the ordinances show that credit cards could not be used, operators could not provide credit, players were registered with their CPF number, an identity document and facial recognition, and online games had to meet a minimum theoretical return to player of 85%. The authorised framework operated in reais, and the Ministry of Finance published the list of authorised companies, whose web addresses end in ".bet.br".
Even inside the authorised market, crypto was not an option. SPA Ordinance 615 of 2024 allowed authorised operators to accept deposits only through Pix, TED, debit or prepaid cards and transfers between accounts at the same institution. It expressly prohibited virtual assets and other crypto-assets, cash, boletos, cheques, credit cards and other post-paid instruments, and payments from third parties or from accounts the bettor had not registered in advance. A service that took crypto from Brazilians was therefore outside the authorised model by design.
The legal question is not "what currency do you use" but "is this gambling service authorised to serve people in Brazil". A service that accepts crypto from Brazilians but has no Brazilian authorisation was never part of the authorised market, and the payment method did not change that. The Banco Central's rules on crypto (Law 14.478 of 2022 and Resolutions 519, 520 and 521, in force since 2 February 2026) regulate companies that provide virtual-asset services; they do not authorise gambling. Our Brazil country guide records the current legal status, and the crypto section of this site explains the distinction between crypto regulation and gambling law in more detail.
Brazil's telecommunications regulator, Anatel, blocked more than 18,000 sites identified by the Ministry of Finance as illegal betting sites between October 2024 and September 2025, and app stores have been required to remove betting apps that are not authorised. Services operating without an authorisation are therefore at risk of blocking, and players can lose access to their funds without notice.
Medida Provisória nº 1.394/2026 prohibits the exploitation, offering, intermediation and advertising of fixed-odds betting throughout Brazil, including sports betting and online games, and including companies based abroad that offer these services to people in Brazil. The payment method is irrelevant. The key dates were:
These steps rely on the banking system. Balances held in crypto at a service outside the Brazilian financial system are not covered by that return mechanism in an obvious way, so contact the service through its official channels and seek advice. The measure is provisional: Congress has 60 days, extendable by 60, to approve, amend or reject it. Read our guide to the ban for details.
After a lawful market closes, services that were never authorised often become more aggressive. Do not deposit on any website or app that is still accessible, because after the measure it operates outside the rules and has no obligation to pay you. Be sceptical of "guaranteed" bonuses, "provably fair" claims used as a substitute for a licence, and "recovery agents" who charge upfront fees. Never share your seed phrase. Our guide on spotting fake betting sites and Pix scams explains the warning signs, and the page on Pix covers limits and what to do after a scam.
Fast crypto payments and constant availability make it easy to spend more than planned. If gambling has caused problems for you or someone close to you, ask for help. In Brazil, the Centro de Valorização da Vida (CVV) offers free emotional support by phone on 188, 24 hours a day, and peer-support groups such as Jogadores Anônimos exist. Set a budget, never chase losses and never use money you need for essentials.
Many crypto casinos display a licence number or a logo from a gambling authority. A real licence is a public record: the authority publishes who holds it, in what name and for what activity, and it lets players complain. To check, find the regulator's own register (not the casino's page), confirm that the company name and number match, check that the licence covers the product and the country concerned, and look at what recourse the regulator offers. Be sceptical of logos without links, licences from authorities you cannot find, and claims such as "licensed everywhere". In Brazil, the only relevant authorisation was the one issued by the Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas, and the Ministry of Finance's list is the way to verify it; the authorisation does not apply to services outside it, and under the current measure it no longer allows operation.
If you cannot find out who is responsible for a gambling service, where it is authorised and how you could complain, you are not in a position to judge the risk, and the safest decision is not to deposit.

Every casino on this page carries an AskBigBonus Trust Index score — the same framework we use across every operator we cover, not a separate scoring system for casinos specifically. You'll see each score on the operator's card and in the comparison table.
Each casino is evaluated across seven areas: licensing and regulatory standing, account and payment security, how clearly the operator discloses its terms, the strength of its responsible-gambling tools, how reliable its payment methods and withdrawal times actually are, whether its bonus terms are fair and clearly stated, and the overall quality of its website and mobile experience.
The order of this list is an editorial decision, not a straight sort of those scores. Our editors decide which casinos to shortlist and in what order, using the Trust Index as the main input alongside judgment about who we'd actually recommend first — which is why a casino with a slightly lower score can sit above a higher-scoring one. Per-country and per-category pages work differently: those are sorted directly, either by our editors' rating for that specific category and market, or by the specific measured figure the page is about, such as withdrawal speed.
What never moves an operator up a list is money. Operators here may have a commercial relationship with AskBigBonus — an affiliate partnership, an exclusive bonus code, or both — and that relationship is disclosed, but it doesn't buy position. See our full methodology for the complete scoring breakdown.
Brazil is the one country on this list where "online casino" and "online betting" are not the same legal category, and that distinction matters more here than almost anywhere else this page covers. Fixed-odds sports betting (apostas de quota fixa) was legalized nationally under Law 14.790/2023, with federal licensing rolling out through 2024 — but that legalization is specifically scoped to sports betting. Online casino games — slots, roulette, blackjack, live-dealer tables — were not brought into that same framework and remain outside Brazil's licensed system.
What this means concretely for a Brazilian player researching online casinos: the operators ranked on this page are not operating under a Brazilian casino license, because no such license currently exists to hold. They're licensed elsewhere (commonly Curaçao, Malta, or another offshore jurisdiction) and accept Brazilian players without being specifically authorized by a Brazilian regulator for the casino side of their product, even where that same operator does hold a real Brazilian license for its sportsbook.
Payments are where Brazil stands apart from every other market on this page. PIX — the Central Bank of Brazil's own instant payment system — has become close to universal here in just a few years, and it's now the default deposit and withdrawal method at any operator serious about the Brazilian market: it settles in seconds, works around the clock including weekends and holidays, and requires nothing beyond a linked Brazilian bank account. An operator without PIX support is asking Brazilian players to route through a card or bank transfer that takes noticeably longer and often carries fees PIX simply doesn't have.
International cards (Mastercard, Visa) and crypto both see meaningful use as backups, particularly crypto among players who want a payment rail that doesn't touch a Brazilian bank statement line item at all — a real consideration for some players in a market where casino specifically remains legally unresolved. Brazilian Real (BRL) pricing is now standard at operators genuinely targeting this market, which avoids the conversion-fee problem players in less-prioritized markets often run into.
Slots and live-dealer tables are both genuinely popular in Brazil, with Brazilian Portuguese-language live dealers becoming a real differentiator among operators competing hardest for this market — a live table hosted in Portuguese, with a dealer familiar with Brazilian betting slang and customs, reads as a materially more serious commitment to the market than a generic English-language stream with subtitles.
Bonus structures aimed at Brazilian players increasingly emphasize PIX-specific promotions — instant deposit bonuses tied specifically to using PIX rather than a card — reflecting how central that payment rail has become to the operator's own cost structure, not just player convenience. As with any market, reading the actual wagering requirement behind a headline bonus number matters more than the number itself.
PIX has genuinely changed withdrawal expectations in Brazil: a PIX withdrawal from an operator that's already completed KYC can land in minutes, any time of day, which is a meaningfully faster standard than the 24-72 hour windows still common for card or bank-transfer withdrawals elsewhere. Brazilian players who've gotten used to PIX's speed for casino payouts often find it jarring to go back to a card-based withdrawal at an operator that doesn't support PIX — worth checking for PIX specifically before assuming any operator serving Brazil handles payouts equally fast.
Competition among operators for Brazilian players has intensified sharply since the 2023 sports-betting legalization, even though that competition is technically centered on the licensed betting side rather than casino — the marketing spend and brand-building this has driven has spilled over into how aggressively the same operators promote their casino products to the same Brazilian audience, PIX-first design included. This makes Brazil one of the more actively contested markets on this page from an operator's perspective, despite casino specifically remaining outside the licensed framework driving that competition.
Brazil's regulatory picture is genuinely split down the middle, and conflating the two halves is the most common mistake made about Brazilian gambling law. Sports betting: legal, federally licensed, and regulated by the Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas (SPA), part of the Ministry of Finance, since Law 14.790/2023. Online casino games: not part of that legalization, and not separately licensed under any other Brazilian framework — they remain in the same legally restricted position Brazil has applied to games of chance for decades.
This doesn't mean online casino play is criminally targeted at the individual player level in Brazil — enforcement, where it exists, has historically focused on unlicensed domestic operators rather than individual bettors using foreign-licensed sites. But it does mean an operator advertising a "licensed for Brazil" casino product is, at minimum, being imprecise: no Brazilian casino license exists for any operator to hold in the first place, regardless of how that operator's sportsbook is licensed.
The minimum gambling age recognized in the sports-betting framework is 18, and that's the age threshold every legitimate operator (Brazilian-licensed or not) should be enforcing for any product offered to Brazilian residents.
For a Brazilian player, the practical takeaway is to treat "licensed in Brazil" claims about the casino side specifically with real skepticism, verify what a cited license number actually covers before trusting it, and understand that the consumer protections built into Brazil's new sports-betting licensing regime — dispute resolution through a real domestic regulator, for one — simply don't extend to the casino side of the same operator's product today. That gap may close as Brazil's regulatory framework continues to develop, but as of this writing it hasn't.
This is a summary of the current, real regulatory split, not legal advice — Brazilian gambling law has moved quickly in recent years and is realistically likely to keep evolving, including on the casino question specifically.
Responsible-gambling standards for the casino side of the market specifically are effectively set by each operator's own foreign license rather than any Brazilian requirement, since Brazil's SPA-administered framework governs sports betting, not casino products. A Brazilian player who wants deposit limits or self-exclusion tools should check what the specific operator's foreign license actually requires, rather than assuming Brazil's newer sports-betting consumer protections carry over to casino play automatically — they don't.
Brazil's split regulatory picture — sports betting licensed, casino not — puts it in an unusual middle position regionally: more developed than most Latin American neighbors on the betting side, but not meaningfully ahead of them on casino specifically. Whether Brazil eventually extends its licensing framework to cover online casino games the way some had expected alongside the 2023 sports-betting law remains an open question without a clear public timeline as of this writing.
Before an operator appears on this page for Brazil, our editors confirm it genuinely accepts Brazilian players, verify that PIX actually works for both deposits and withdrawals rather than being listed but unreliable in practice, and check the operator's foreign license against that issuer's own public register — and separately note, in each individual review, whether an operator's Brazilian sports-betting license (where one exists) has actually been verified, since that license does not extend to the casino product covered on this specific page. Conflating the two would misrepresent exactly the split this page exists to explain clearly.
For a first-time Brazilian player, the practical checklist is short but genuinely worth running through: confirm PIX is actually supported for both deposits and withdrawals, confirm pricing is in BRL rather than converting through USD, and check whether any "licensed in Brazil" claim is specifically about the sportsbook (real, if held) or the casino product (not currently possible to hold) before trusting it either way.
There's no single "best" online casino — the right one depends on where you live, what you want to play, and how you plan to deposit and withdraw. A few things worth checking before you sign up:
Licensing. Confirm the casino holds a real gambling license for the market you're in, not just a generic offshore license that may not actually authorize service to your country. Our country pages list which licenses are recognized where you live.
Game selection. If you care about live dealer tables, a specific slot provider, or sports betting alongside casino games, check the operator's own site — not every "best casino" targets the same kind of player.
Payment methods. Look for deposit and withdrawal methods you'd actually use, and check whether the casino publishes real withdrawal times rather than a vague "1–3 business days" promise. See our payment methods hub for what each casino supports.
Bonus terms. A large headline bonus number means little if the wagering requirement is unreasonable or key games don't count toward it. Read the bonus terms, not just the percentage, before you claim anything — our wagering requirements guide explains how to do that math.
Responsible gambling tools. Deposit limits, self-exclusion, and reality checks should be easy to find and easy to use, not buried in a settings menu.
A licensed, well-run online casino is generally safe to use, but "online casino" covers an extremely wide range of operators — from established, regulated brands to sites with no real oversight at all. Licensing is the starting point: a casino regulated by an authority that actually enforces its rules has real consequences if it treats players unfairly, unlike one that exists mainly to issue licenses cheaply.
Beyond licensing, the signals we weigh in our own Trust Index are the same ones worth checking yourself: how the casino handles player funds, whether it publishes clear terms rather than vague ones, its actual track record on withdrawals, and whether it offers meaningful responsible-gambling controls. No scoring system — ours included — can guarantee an individual outcome with any operator. If something goes wrong, we review reported issues at no additional cost; see how to report a problem.
The ranking above lists the online casinos we've confirmed are genuinely available to Brazil-based players, ordered by AskBigBonus Trust Index score. Availability, licensing, and payment support can all differ from what a global "best of" list shows — this page only includes operators we've specifically verified for Brazil.
Based on our current research, online casino gambling in Brazil is not legally available. This is general information, not legal advice — confirm the current rules for your specific situation before playing.
Many operators available in Brazil do support BRL directly — check the specific operator's cashier page to confirm, since not every one does.
Several operators in our Brazil ranking support cryptocurrency deposits — check the payment methods shown on each operator's card above, or see our payment methods hub for the full breakdown by coin.
This varies by operator — see the "Payment Methods" section on this page for what's actually common among the operators available in Brazil, and the Key Data on each operator's card for its specific supported methods.
