Sports betting & the Betsul brand stay offline despite the ruling, with full panel review still to come.
The hit
CDA Gaming’s Casa de Apostas brand is back online in Brazil after the Regional Federal Court of the 3rd Region granted interim relief, according to GamblingNews. The ruling lets Casa de Apostas resume gaming services, though sports betting & the company’s Betsul brand remain shut. The relief was granted on 3 November.
Why it matters
For operators, the ruling stands on firmer legal ground than the relief Stake previously won, according to GamblingNews, & could set a precedent. The judge rejected the public-interest argument used to justify the closures & flagged the lack of refunds on licence fees & disproportionate daily fines. It is not final & still needs confirmation from the full 3rd Panel.
The record
| Relief granted | 3 November, TRF3 (3rd Region) |
|---|---|
| Brands covered | Casa de Apostas & Betsul (sports betting services have yet to resume) |
| Prior case | Stake’s similar relief was overturned by the Brazilian government |
| Legal basis cited | Investment made, legal uncertainty, disproportionate penalties (judge’s ruling) |
What happens next
The ruling still needs confirmation from the full 3rd Panel of TRF3. Operators remain open to dialogue with the Brazilian government before the ban becomes permanent.
