Paraguay Market Report
working conditions for lottery vendors, and gen- erate more jobs. Tere will be unlimited licences for other verticals such as online casinos and instant win products. More control and enforcement – Te integration
of Conajzar into the DNIT will provide for more capacity to monitor irregularities and penalise accordingly. A specialised unit will be set up by Conajzar to help close down illegal operations and remove illegal slot machines, whilst there will be a block on illegal online gambling. A col- laboration between Conajzar and telecommuni- cation companies, such as Conatel, has been in- stigated to block access to international websites operating in the country without authorisation. Te law establishes up to five years of imprison- ment for those involved in illegal activities. By the end of last year, Conajzar had authorised the blocking of 60 illegal websites. Real-time connection - Te decree requires
the concessionaires’ systems to be connected online or in real time with the regulatory authority. All equipment and devices must also be certified by accredited inspection entities. Increased revenues - with more operators,
there will be an expected increase in the collection of fees and taxes. In theory, it shifts Paraguay from a rather re-
stricted and immature market to one that is more structured and competitive, with new opportunities for international operators. Currently, it is said the total gambling market revenue is said to be around $550.8m, of which the online sector is responsible for $113.6m. Te gambling sector has seen significant growth over the last five years and between 2020 and

A collaboration between Conajzar and telecommunication companies, such as Conatel, has been instigated to block access to international websites operating in the country without authorisation. Te law establishes up to five years of imprisonment for those involved in illegal activities. By the end of last year, Conajzar had authorised the blocking of 60 illegal websites.
2024 tax revenue collected by Conajzar rose by 95 per cent from PYG89.7bn in 2020 to PYG175.7bn in 2024. Last year, Paraguay’s gambling market generated
PYG215.9bn ($32.6m) in tax revenues – the highest ever recorded amount, with monthly revenues of between PYG15bn and almost PYG19bn. Tis was almost 23 per cent more than in 2024
(PYG175.8bn equivalent to approximately US$22m), which was an increase of 11 per cent on 2023 revenues. Market liberalisation is expected to see this doubled. Data for the month of January 2026 saw PYG18.7bn in tax revenues. Te gambling sector contributes a modest 0.8
per cent to the country’s GDP and gambling con- tributes to the state via two main channels – concession fees, which are levied on the conces- sionaire’s gross revenue, and also income tax and VAT, levied on the profits and players’ winnings. Te sector not only contributes to the treasury,
but the law also divides the concession fees on games of chance via various channels. Payments are collected by the DNIT and distributed to gov- ernmental municipalities and social programs. Tis was modified under the new law and now includes: National level games – 30 per cent to municipal governments (including Asuncion), 30 per cent
