TITLE: Brazil's Central Bank Mandates Financial Institutions Share Data on Illegal Betting Operators
BODY:
On May 20, 2026, Brazil's Central Bank published Resolution No. 569, which expands requirements for financial and payment institutions to share information about unauthorized betting operators. The resolution amends Resolution No. 343 from October 4, 2023, which previously regulated the exchange of fraud-related data between entities supervised by the Central Bank.
The new regulation requires financial institutions to identify and report suspicious transactions and activities linked to unauthorized betting operators as defined under Article 24-A of Law No. 14.790. The Central Bank Director of Regulation, Gilneu Francisco Astolfi Vivan, signed the resolution following approval by the Board of Directors on May 19, 2026. The measure extends the scope of fraud information sharing to include evidence of actions by natural or legal persons operating as unauthorized betting operators, as well as the provision of financial and payment services to such entities. Additionally, the resolution addresses the provision of virtual asset services, requiring institutions to adapt their electronic systems to identify and report suspicious activity in this sector. The regulation aims to strengthen mechanisms for preventing and combating illegal betting activities by ensuring regulated entities exchange relevant data through established electronic systems. Consortium administrators remain excluded from these obligations.
Financial institutions operating with virtual assets must implement the necessary measures by October 30, 2026. Entities providing financial and payment services to unauthorized betting operators have until December 1, 2026, to comply. These staggered deadlines account for the technical complexity involved in developing appropriate procedures for identifying and reporting suspicious transactions. The resolution entered into force upon publication in the Official Gazette of the Union.

Betting The 20.05.26 By: Magno Jose Share: -A + A Resolution No. 569 of the Central Bank of Brazil, published this Tuesday, modifies a 2023 regulation and expands the exchange of information on fraud between financial institutions in the country; see the full text of the regulation. The Central Bank has determined that financial and payment institutions must share information about unauthorized betting operators. Resolution BCB No. 569 was approved by the Board of Directors this Monday (May 19). The rule modifies Resolution BCB No. 343, of October 4, 2023, which regulates the exchange of data on evidence of fraud between entities supervised by the monetary authority. The Director of Regulation, Gilneu Francisco Astolfi Vivan, signed the document. The measure expands the scope of information that must circulate between institutions in the financial system. The Board of Directors based its decision on Article 9 of Law No. 4.595, of December 31, 1964. The resolution is also based on Articles 9-A of Law No. 4.728, of July 14, 1965, and 9, item II, of Law No. 12.865, of October 9, 2013. The document considers the provisions of Article 9 of Joint Resolution No. 6, of May 23, 2023. The new regulation created Article 1-A in BCB Resolution No. 343. This provision establishes that "the data to be shared and information on evidence of fraud includes evidence of the actions of natural or legal persons as unauthorized betting operators, as referred to in Article 24-A, paragraph I, of Law No. 14.790, of December 29, 2023." Article 2 of BCB Resolution No. 343 has been amended. Item V has been added to address the provision of virtual asset services. Item VI covers the provision of financial and payment services to individuals or legal entities such as unauthorized betting operators. Paragraph 1 of Article 2 has been modified to encompass the new categories of operations. Financial institutions must observe these provisions when implementing data sharing systems. The resolution included paragraph 4 in article 3 of BCB Resolution No. 343. The text stipulates that "in the case related to article 2, caput, item VI, the identification referred to in item I of the caput must refer to unauthorized betting operators." The measure aims to ensure accuracy in identifying suspicious entities. Implementation deadlines The regulation created Article 13-A with different deadlines for implementing the measures. The provision establishes that "the institutions mentioned in Article 1 must implement the measures necessary to comply with the provisions of this Resolution: I – by October 30, 2026, for the activity referred to in Article 2, paragraph V; and II – by December 1, 2026, for the activity referred to in Article 2, paragraph VI". Institutions operating with virtual assets will have until October 30, 2026, to adapt their systems. This deadline takes into account the technical complexity involved in implementing mechanisms for sharing information on suspected fraud in this sector. Entities that provide financial and payment services to unauthorized betting operators will have until December 1, 2026, to implement the measures. The additional timeframe allows institutions to develop appropriate procedures for identifying and reporting suspicious transactions related to illegal betting. Joint Resolution No. 6, of May 23, 2023, established the sharing of data between financial institutions. Banks, payment institutions, and other entities authorized by the Central Bank must exchange information on evidence of fraud through an electronic system. Consortium administrators are the only institutions excluded from this obligation. Institutions will need to adapt their electronic systems to meet the new requirements. Sharing information about suspected fraud aims to strengthen mechanisms for preventing and combating illegal activities. The regulation came into effect on the date of publication in the Official Gazette of the Union. The deadlines for institutions to implement the measures are later. The measure seeks to ensure that regulated entities have adequate time to develop the technical mechanisms necessary to comply with the new requirements.
