The National Gambling Commission (Conajzar) recorded revenue of ₲ 18.715 billion [$2.8 million] in January from gaming fees. This figure represents a 23.4% increase compared to the same month of the previous year, as a result of Paraguay’s new gambling law.

At the close of 2025, Conajzar, which has now became part of the National Directorate of Tax Revenues (DNIT), accumulated revenues of ₲ 215,940 million [$32.8 million] exceeding the collection of the previous year by as much as 22.8%.

The figures come after the enactment of Law 7483, which revised the legal framework for gambling operations. A major shift saw Conajzar transition to the DNIT granting the agency enhanced oversight powers to tackle irregularities in the gambling sector and address illegal gambling activities.
