Paraguay’s National Commission of Fixed-odd Games (Conajzar) reported $28.1m in revenue through November. That’s PYG197.773bn in local currency.
The regulator works with Paraguay’s National Directorate of Tax Income (DNIT). Together, they track betting operations across the country.
September pulled in the most money this year. The month reached PYG19.980bn, setting a record for 2025.
November came close behind with PYG19.893bn. Collections stayed consistently high across nearly every month.
Why 2025 Became a Breakthrough Year
This year marks the first full period under Paraguay’s updated gaming legislation. The new laws brought Conajzar directly under DNIT supervision.
That integration changed how enforcement works. DNIT’s tax collection systems now connect directly to gaming oversight.
The setup gives regulators better tools to spot problems, and 2025’s already beaten 2024’s full-year total. Last year ended at $22m (PYG175.768bn).
With December still unreported, this year’s sitting at $28.1m. The growth didn’t happen all at once, though.
Each month showed steady collections, with the second half performing particularly well.
What the Monthly Numbers Show
Revenue started strong in January at PYG15.163bn. February brought PYG16.081bn, followed by March’s PYG16.201bn.
Spring months climbed higher. April reached PYG16.711bn. May jumped to PYG18.726bn, and June hit PYG18.827bn.
The second half maintained momentum. July collected PYG18.550bn. August came in at PYG18.479bn, then September set that record. October delivered PYG19.157bn.
November’s PYG19.893bn kept the year’s upward trend intact. Every single month exceeded prior-year levels.
No significant drops appeared across the 11-month period. The consistency stands out more than any individual month’s performance.
How Stronger Oversight Changed Things
The DNIT integration expanded Conajzar’s investigative powers. Regulators can now track money flows more effectively. They’re catching irregularities faster than before.
Higher compliance rates followed these structural changes. Operators face better-defined rules and clearer enforcement. The shift reduced ambiguity about what’s required.
Paraguay’s regulated gaming landscape is consolidating. The institutional framework under DNIT creates stability that wasn’t there before. Operators know what to expect.
Recent enforcement shows the system’s working. Authorities arrested two people near the Brazil border last month.
The operation targeted illegal gaming networks operating outside the regulated system. It demonstrates the regulator’s expanded reach.
December’s numbers will push the year’s total even higher. But November’s data already confirms 2025 as Paraguay’s strongest gaming revenue year on record.
The structural reforms appear to be delivering their intended results.
