A currently SPA-licensed Brazilian sportsbook with a high consumer rating, at the center of a major, still-unresolved federal money-laundering investigation
Visit Esportes da Sorte →Pros
- Currently holds an active SPA/MF federal licence (030/2024)
- High 9.1/10 Reclame Aqui rating despite a large complaint volume
Cons
- Central target of 'Operation Integration,' a federal investigation alleging R$3 billion in illegal gambling and money laundering, with 19 arrest warrants issued
- Proceedings were nullified and jurisdiction moved to federal courts in November 2025 - the matter remains unresolved, not closed
- 4,327 registered Reclame Aqui complaints, mainly on withdrawal difficulty and registration validation
Our verdict
We want to be very direct about Esportes da Sorte: while it currently holds an active SPA/MF licence and carries a genuinely high Reclame Aqui rating, it was the central target of 'Operation Integration' - a major federal investigation alleging R$3 billion in illegal gambling and money-laundering activity, with 19 arrest warrants issued. That investigation's proceedings were later nullified and moved to federal jurisdiction as of November 2025, leaving the matter legally unresolved rather than settled in either direction. Given this significant, still-unresolved legal matter alongside genuine current licensing and a strong consumer rating, we'd recommend strong caution with Esportes da Sorte and suggest following the federal case's developments directly before depositing significant funds.

About Esportes da Sorte
Esportes da Sorte, owned by Esportes Gaming Brazil with owner Darwin Henrique da Silva Filho, currently holds an active federal SPA/MF licence (030/2024) and carries a high 9.1/10 Reclame Aqui rating despite 4,327 registered complaints, with the main issues relating to withdrawal difficulty and registration validation. We want to name a serious matter directly rather than omit it: the brand was the central target of 'Operation Integration,' a Brazilian federal investigation launched 4 September 2024 involving 19 arrest warrants and 24 search/seizure orders across five states, alleging a criminal organization moved nearly R$3 billion from illegal gambling and money laundering; influencer Deolane Bezerra was arrested during the operation. A federal judge initially denied a prosecution request to archive the investigation, but Brazil's Federal Justice subsequently nullified the Operation Integration proceedings, with federal courts assuming jurisdiction as of November 2025 - meaning the matter remains legally unresolved and contested rather than either a closed conviction or a clean exoneration. The company has publicly characterized the operation negatively. No welcome or deposit bonus is available under current Brazilian federal rules.
