巴拉圭 - 博彩委员会将启动实体和在线体育博彩招标

The National Gaming Commission (Conajzar) has opened the call for Public Tender No. 01/2022, which will grant a license for sports betting.

In a statement Conajzar announced that the tender will take place from September 13 to September 19, 2022. Potential operators will need to pay a fee of 60,000,000 guaraníes in order to take part in the bidding process which is non refundable. Only one operator will be granted a licence.    

The formal opening of bids will take place at the Conajzar Offices on October 31. 

巴拉圭的博彩法允许体育博彩，该法 回到1997。体育博彩过去仅限于赛马场附属的单一地点。 2015 年，随着董事会开始考虑开放市场，CONAJZAR 宣布将在不久的将来启动体育博彩招标，随后开始了扩张。从那时起，巴拉圭的体育博彩业已证明 极具争议性.

当地公司 Daruma Sam 被授予在去年之前提供体育博彩的独家权利 世界杯 for five years. Under the terms of the contract 达磨山姆 had the obligation to open as many as 200 sports betting shops throughout Paraguay. In February 2018, the Comptroller General of the Republic of Paraguay (CGR) recommended that the bidding process for sports betting be declared void.

Three complaints were put forward alleging that the bidding process had been prepared with the intention of favouring one of the participants over the others. Accusations alleged that the tender had been stacked in favour of Daruma Sam SA which has ties to local government officials as well as members of the gaming board itself, according to local news sources. The CGR had also argued that the tender was monopolistic in design and was therefore incompatible with the constitution.
