Signed on Wednesday, Law No 7348/2025 modifies and expands the existing gambling legislation in Paraguay, Law No 1016/1997, establishing a regulatory framework for private operators of games of chance, both on and offline.
Paraguay took steps to eliminate the gambling monopoly towards the end of 2024, when its Chamber of Deputies approved changes to the previous laws, which stated the “exploitation of national games of chance will be carried out exclusively by public tender”.
The new laws focus on updating, modernising and strengthening regulation of the gambling sector in Paraguay, by creating a more transparent and efficient regulatory framework.
The changes have formally established the National Gaming Commission (Conajzar), a decentralised body under the National Directorate of Tax Revenue.
