What happened
A Federal Judge in São Paulo granted a partial injunction to Stake, allowing the betting platform to operate in Brazil until October 25, 2026. This decision suspended the presidential ban on online gambling that was issued through a provisional measure by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The injunction was granted after a lawsuit filed by the law firm Bichara e Motta, which requested the suspension of Provisional Measure 1.394.

Why it matters
The partial injunction allows Stake to continue its operations, which corresponds to the date set by the provisional measure for the expiration of operators’ licenses. Prior to this court ruling, two of Brazil’s main gambling trade bodies had called upon the Supreme Federal Court to overturn the ban issued by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
