This move is designed to enhance regulatory oversight and improve tax collection from gambling activities. Conajzar, now operating under DNIT, has been granted expanded resources, including <strong>800 inspectors<\/strong> and advanced legal tools to combat illegal gambling operations. These measures aim to block unauthorized online gambling platforms and seize equipment associated with illicit activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/colombian-gambling-news\/paraguay-promotes-bill-to-free-gambling-and-remove-legal-monopolies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paraguay promotes bill to \u201cfree gambling\u201d and \u201cremove legal monopolies\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"871\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/paraguay-raises-the-stakes-how-its-gambling-reform-is-reshaping-the-industry-today2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/paraguay-raises-the-stakes-how-its-gambling-reform-is-reshaping-the-industry-today2.jpg 871w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/paraguay-raises-the-stakes-how-its-gambling-reform-is-reshaping-the-industry-today2-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/paraguay-raises-the-stakes-how-its-gambling-reform-is-reshaping-the-industry-today2-768x529.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legislation also opens the market to new operators by eliminating monopolies, particularly in the <strong>lottery and sports betting sectors<\/strong>.

This initiative is expected to stimulate competition, attract foreign investment, and boost government revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of economic impact, the <strong>sports betting market in Paraguay<\/strong> is projected to reach <strong>US$65.12 million<\/strong> in revenue by the end of 2025, with an anticipated annual growth rate of <strong>4.67%<\/strong> between 2025 and 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/paraguay-raises-the-stakes-how-its-gambling-reform-is-reshaping-the-industry-today3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10491\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/paraguay-raises-the-stakes-how-its-gambling-reform-is-reshaping-the-industry-today3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/paraguay-raises-the-stakes-how-its-gambling-reform-is-reshaping-the-industry-today3-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/paraguay-raises-the-stakes-how-its-gambling-reform-is-reshaping-the-industry-today3-768x404.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite these advancements, challenges persist.
