Brazil fully bans 27 prediction market platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi: the largest prediction market ban in emerging markets
The Brazilian government announced a comprehensive ban on 27 prediction market platforms (including Polymarket and Kalshi) on April 24, 2026, citing that they had not obtained licenses and did not comply with the current gambling laws, and that connections were blocked from that day onward. The new law only allows fixed-odds betting based on the results of in-person sporting events; event-based prediction contracts remain illegal. The central bank also added that the regulatory threshold for derivative transactions had not been met. This move has been seen as the first major negative case in the expansion of emerging markets worldwide, and in the future it may affect regulatory and cross-border compliance negotiations in places such as India, Indonesia, and Turkey.
