By James - 1 ta’ Novembru 2022
The National Gaming Commission (Conajzar) has opened the bids as part of the call for Public Tender No. 01/2022, which will grant a license for sports betting for the next five years.
B’kollox sitt kumpaniji kienu talbu t-Termini u l-Kundizzjonijiet tal-Offerti, iżda tlieta biss issottomettew l-offerti tagħhom. Il-ftuħ formali tal-offerti sar fis-sede tal-Conajzar.
The three companies that submitted bids are Daruma Sam S.A. (Apostala); the consortium B-Gaming Sucursal Paraguay and Gambling S.A. and a company owned by Luis Carlos Alder Benítez (under the name Playtech), whose legal representative is former Foreign Minister Rubén Melgarejo Lanzoni.
The bidding companies were also permitted to verbally present their case as to why they should be permitted to be the sole sportsbetting operator and criticise the bids put forward by their competitors.
Fejn jidħlu offerti ekonomiċi, Daruma Sam SA offriet canon ta’ 22%, filwaqt li l-konsorzju BGaming – Gambling SA offra 27%, u Playtech offriet 23%.
Directors of current license holder Daruma Sam S.A defended their track record saying: “We formally presented our proposal, we are sure that it meets all the requirements, based on the experience obtained in these five years and our knowledge of the market, we opted for a realistic, coherent offer, instead of reckless figures that later in practice are unfeasible.”
The financial part of the tender is only one aspect of the process as experience in the area will also be taken into account.
Il-kumpanija lokali Daruma Sam ingħatat id-dritt esklussiv li toffri imħatri sportivi qabel l-aħħar Tazza tad-Dinja tal-FIFA għal ħames snin. F’Settembru Conajzar fetaħ is-sejħa għall-Offerta Pubblika Nru 01/2022 li fetaħ il-proċess għall-ħamsa li ġejjin.
Sports betting is permitted under Paraguay’s gaming laws which date back to 1997. Sports betting used to be limited to a single location attached to a racetrack. The expansion began in 2015 after CONAJZAR announced that a sport betting tender would be launched in the near future as the board began to look at opening up the market. Since then sports betting in Paraguay has proven estremament kontroversjali.
