Lucas Ferreira, Brazil Market Editor
Lucas Ferreira leads landing.space's Brazil coverage from São Paulo and writes every page in the Brazil section in Brazilian Portuguese. He followed the market through the 2023 law that licensed fixed-odds betting (Lei 14.790/2023), the licensed .bet.br period, and the ban that Medida Provisória 1.394 brought in on 25 September 2026. His beat is what those changes mean for an ordinary player: what happens to money left in an account, what the law says about playing, what a foreign licence does and does not cover, and where to find help.
Author Credentials
Reads Brazilian gambling law in the original text on planalto.gov.br and follows the Secretaria de Prêmios e Apostas (SPA/MF), the Ministry of Justice and the Congress timetable for the MP. Every legal or number claim on his pages cites the article or the official page it comes from, with the date it was checked.
How I Write
I answer the question in the first sentence, in Brazilian Portuguese, for readers in Brazil. The Brazil section is informational only: it names no casinos, carries no casino links and no offers. When something is not settled yet, such as the Congress vote or a court decision, I say so and date it. I never tell readers they will be punished for playing; I tell them what the law says and to check it themselves.
