As already stipulated in the law that regulated the activity of sports betting and online gaming, all operators approved to operate in the segment must adopt the .bet.br domain on their websites as of January 1, 2025, when the regulated market begins in Brazil.
In order to comply with this requirement, companies approved by the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) of the Ministry of Finance must contact Registro.br to adopt the new extension for their operations. Only companies that adopt the .bet.br domain will be able to continue operating in the regulated market.
All domain requests made by operators will be subject to SPA's scrutiny regarding certain criteria, including:
- date of registration of the registration request after the date of notification of authorization by SPA
- trademarks to be operated under the .bet.br domain
- adoption of the “domain name system extensions” (DNSSEC) registration technology.
After analysis by Registro.br and approval by SPA regarding the regularity of the process, operators will be notified so that they can adjust their electronic addresses as determined by the government so that on January 1st they can start adopting the new one, already with the .bet.br extension.
Companies that have applied to the Betting Management System (Sigap) must register the new electronic address adopted after requesting the registration of the .bet.br domain within five days of the date of approval of the registration in the system's own field.
