According to Stake Brasil, the 9th Federal Civil Court of São Paulo granted a partial preliminary injunction against Provisional Measure 1,394/2026, preserving the company’s authorisation to offer fixed-odds betting in Brazil under the conditions set by the court. The company says that means its authorisation remains valid, stake.bet.br cannot be blocked or redirected, and sanctions cannot be imposed on it for operating within those limits.
That is not a final ruling on the measure itself. It is temporary protection, and a very specific kind of protection at that. The order, as described by the company, remains effective until 25 October 2026.
Stake Brasil is framing the decision as a defense of legal certainty after it says it met regulatory requirements, paid the applicable authorisation fees and invested in the regulated market. That is the company’s argument, not a full court opinion, but it helps explain why this fight is not really about branding or public statements. It is about whether a licensed operator that says it followed the state’s process can be treated, overnight, as if that status no longer counts.
The company also says it believes this is the first decision of its kind obtained by a licensed operator in Brazil. That point is attributed to Stake Brasil. Based on the material available here, it should stay there.
Stake Brasil has also leaned on the familiar industry language about consumer protection, responsible gambling tools and public oversight. Fair enough; every regulated operator knows how to recite that paragraph. The more concrete part of this ruling is simpler: for the life of the injunction, the company says the government cannot knock its Brazilian site offline or punish it for continuing to operate within the court’s conditions.
