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.
