URHEILU Vedonlyönti
Paraguay – Urheiluvedonlyöntitarjoukset avattu uudelle lisenssinhaltijalle
By Jaakob - 1. marraskuuta 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.
Yhteensä kuusi yritystä oli pyytänyt tarjousehtoja, mutta vain kolme jätti tarjouksensa. Muodollinen tarjousten avaus pidettiin Conajzarin päämajassa.
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.
Mitä tulee taloudellisiin tarjouksiin, Daruma Sam SA tarjosi 22 prosentin kanonin, kun taas konsortio BGaming – Gambling SA tarjosi 27 prosenttia ja Playtech 23 prosenttia.
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.
Paikallinen yritys Daruma Sam sai yksinoikeuden tarjota urheiluvedonlyöntiä ennen viimeistä FIFA World Cup viideksi vuodeksi. Syyskuussa Conajzar avasi julkisen tarjouskilpailun nro 01/2022, joka avasi prosessin seuraavalle viidelle.
Sports betting is permitted under Paraguay’s gaming laws which vuodelta 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 erittäin kiistanalainen.
