The National Gaming Commission (CONAJZAR) plans to present a project to update the law that creates the Commission and adapt it to the new gaming modalities. The intention is to give predictability to all possible games of chance and to include new forms of regulation, such as on-line controls and coordinated control with the Municipalities regarding the canon that they must receive.

From these new controls, greater transparency will be achieved in the actions of the Commission, which also has among its functions the bidding for the exploitation of gaming sites. At present, CONAJZAR collects about US$ 20 million annually in royalties, which it distributes to DIBEN assistance programs (30%), to Municipalities (30%) and to the National Treasury (10%).

To prepare this project, we collaborated with institutions in other countries and compared similar regulations. It is expected to be presented in the first half of the year in order to update the law as soon as possible.
