ŠPORTOVÉ STÁVKY
Paraguaj – Otvorené ponuky športových stávok pre nového držiteľa licencie
By james - 1. novembra 2022
Národná herná komisia (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.
O súťažné podmienky požiadalo celkovo šesť spoločností, ale len tri predložili svoje ponuky. Slávnostné otváranie ponúk sa uskutočnilo v sídle Conajzar.
The three companies that submitted bids are Daruma Sam SA. (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.
Pokiaľ ide o ekonomické ponuky, Daruma Sam SA ponúkla kánon 22 %, zatiaľ čo konzorcium BGaming – Gambling SA ponúklo 27 % a Playtech 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.
Miestna spoločnosť Daruma Sam získala exkluzívne právo ponúkať športové stávky pred poslednými Majstrovstvá sveta vo futbale na päť rokov. V septembri Conajzar otvoril verejnú súťaž č. 01/2022, čím otvoril proces pre ďalších päť.
Sports betting is permitted under Paraguay’s gaming laws which siahajú do roku 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 mimoriadne kontroverzný.
