The Ministry of Treasury has initiated an important public consultation for the betting sector. The measure, published in the Official Gazette of the Union this Monday (23), seeks to review how payments of resources destined for sports entities will be operationalized. This initiative directly affects fixed-odds betting operators in the country.
The Prizes and Betting Secretariat (SPA) published through the Public Consultation Notice SPA/MF No. 2/2025. The document establishes a period of 45 days to receive contributions from society. In addition, the consultation covers fundamental issues on image rights and intellectual property in sport.
Details of public consultation no. 2/2025
The Secretary of Prizes and Bets, Regis Dudena, signed the published notice. This measure follows the guidelines established by Law No. 13,756 of 2018. Furthermore, it considers the changes introduced by Law No. 14,790 of 2023.
The consultation addresses two main points of allocation of resources. First, it deals with the private entities mentioned in article 30 of the current legislation. Second, it covers the image rights and intellectual property of athletes.
The private entities included are those designated in the specific paragraphs of the law. On the other hand, image rights involve Brazilian athletes and sports organizations. Therefore, the review may significantly impact the current distribution model.
The consultation period opened on 19 June 2025. Consequently, contributions will be accepted until 2 August 2025. Any natural or legal person can participate in the process.
Participation takes place through the Participa + Brasil Portal. Access is available through the official federal government link. This ensures transparency and broad social participation in the process.
After the deadline, the SPA will analyze all the received statements. The analysis will follow the procedures established in Decree No. 12,002 of 2024. Finally, the contributions will help define the new operationalization model.
