Pixbet Secures Definitive License to Operate in Brazil Until 2030

Pixbet Soluções Tecnológicas has been granted a definitive license to operate sports betting and online games in Brazil until January 5, 2030. This authorization, issued by the SPA (Secretary of Prizes and Betting), covers Pixbet’s three brands: Pixbet, FlaBet, and Bet da Sorte.

The news follows a brief suspension of Pixbet’s provisional authorization last week due to a delay in delivering certificates. However, a preliminary injunction was granted by the Federal Court on Friday, as all necessary documents had been submitted, albeit with one arriving late.

FlaBet, a Pixbet brand, is notably the master sponsor of Flamengo, a major Brazilian soccer club, through a R$470 million (US$80 million) contract. The preliminary injunction was crucial, allowing Flamengo to debut their new jersey, featuring the FlaBet logo, in a game against Grêmio in the Brazilian Championship. The jersey had already made its first appearance in an international match against Central Córdoba of Argentina, during the group stage of the Libertadores tournament.

Ordinance 806, issued by the SPA, officially authorizes Pixbet to operate in Brazil. This federal license complements Pixbet’s existing state-level authorizations in Paraná and Rio de Janeiro, which permit the local exploration of sports betting and online gaming.
