Paragvaj – Odbor za igre na sreću pokreće natječaj za zemaljsko i internetsko sportsko klađenje
By James - 6. rujna 2022
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.
Sportsko klađenje dopušteno je paragvajskim zakonima o igrama na sreću datiraju iz 1997. Sportsko klađenje prije je bilo ograničeno na jedno mjesto vezano uz trkalište. Proširenje je započelo 2015. nakon što je CONAJZAR najavio da će natječaj za sportsko klađenje biti pokrenut u bliskoj budućnosti jer je odbor počeo razmatrati otvaranje tržišta. Od tada se sportsko klađenje u Paragvaju dokazalo krajnje kontroverzan.
Lokalna tvrtka Daruma Sam prije posljednjeg je dobila ekskluzivno pravo ponude sportskog klađenja Svjetsko prvenstvo u nogometu for five years. Under the terms of the contract Daruma Sam 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.
