GGPoker Brazil: how Brazilian players join the world's largest poker room

Brazil is one of the biggest poker nations on earth — home to six-time bracelet winner Yuri Dzivielevski, the BSOP circuit and hundreds of thousands of online regulars — and GGPoker accepts Brazilian players on its international site with a Portuguese-language client, a cashier in reais and Pix deposits. This guide covers what Brazilian players need to know before signing up.

Is GGPoker legal in Brazil?

Poker has long been treated as a game of skill in Brazil, and playing online on an international room has never been an offence for players. Brazil's 2023 betting law (Lei 14.790) created a federal licensing regime for fixed-odds betting and online gaming, administered by the Ministry of Finance, and the market has been moving toward licensed operators since 2025. GGPoker currently serves Brazil on its international platform; check the operator's own terms for the latest position, as the rules are still settling. You must be at least 18 to play.

What Brazilian players get

GGPoker's client is available in Portuguese and the cashier supports Brazilian reais with Pix, the fastest way in and out. The tournament schedule is the largest online: WSOP Online bracelets in summer, the weekly GGMillion$, regular Bounty Hunters and GGMasters series, and satellites to live festivals. Cash games run at every level with Rush & Cash fast-fold and All-In Insurance, and the Fish Buffet programme returns a share of your rake. Brazilian time zones are well served — the evening schedule in São Paulo lines up with US prime time.

Signing up from Brazil

Register through the link on this page with your real name, CPF and address, verify your identity with a document photo, and deposit in BRL. The welcome offer for Brazil is applied automatically to the first deposit. Winnings from poker are taxable in Brazil as income from abroad and should be declared; a contador can advise on the details.

The Brazilian scene

Yuri Dzivielevski, André Akkari and a generation of online regulars have made Brazil a permanent presence at every WSOP and every big online series. Live, the BSOP (Brazilian Series of Poker) runs stops across the country with a flagship BSOP Millions in São Paulo, and the H2 Club in São Paulo is the country's best-known poker room. Our Brazil page has player profiles and the event calendar. The other rooms we list for Brazilian players are Ya Poker and CoinPoker; if gambling stops being fun, Jogadores Anônimos offers free help.
