How we know, and what we could not confirm

How we know: iGB reports that Entain's Sportingbet licence is held through Ventmear Brasil S.A. Brazil-only .bet.br site. MP 1.394/2026 (25 Sep 2026) banned fixed-odds betting in Brazil: sites had to go offline from 6 Oct 2026 and all SPA authorisations end on 25 Oct 2026. The MP still needs approval by Congress and is challenged at the STF.

The owner link comes from press reports; we have not confirmed it in a register or in the brand’s own terms.

33 sister casinos

Same owner often means the same terms, the same support team and the same payout rules. A self-exclusion at one brand may not cover its sister sites.
