Meridian Holdings disclosed a September 25, 2026 provisional measure signed by Brazil's President that bans operating, intermediating and advertising online betting and online casino services in Brazil and requires funds to be returned to bettors. The company says Brazil is an immaterial share of Group revenue and that its exposure is limited because it did not commit large marketing spending before licensing, but the filing gives no dollar figures for the affected business.
