Is online gambling legal here?
Online casino play is land-based gaming is licensed; sports betting was opened to competition in 2024 in Paraguay. Paraguay licenses casinos, slots and lotteries through Conajzar, and a 2024 reform ended the sports-betting monopoly to allow multiple licences; online casino has no dedicated licence yet, so players also use internationally licensed sites. Players should always check that an operator holds a licence valid for Paraguay before depositing: an offshore site can be perfectly legitimate elsewhere and still leave you without local recourse if a withdrawal is blocked.
Who regulates the market
Comisión Nacional de Juegos de Azar (Conajzar) is the authority responsible for licensing and supervision, active since 1997. It sets advertising limits, deposit and identity checks, game certification and the complaint route open to players. Conajzar authorises and supervises gaming operators and since 2024 can grant several betting licences instead of a single concession.
Taxes on casino winnings
Operators pay gaming taxes; players are not taxed at the cashier on ordinary winnings. Keeping a record of deposits, withdrawals and crypto conversions is sensible in Paraguay, because exchange-rate gains on cryptocurrency can be treated differently from the gambling win itself.
Payment methods and withdrawal speed
Players in Paraguay mostly pay with debit and credit cards, Tigo Money and Personal Bill, bank transfer, crypto wallets. Card and bank payouts typically arrive in 1–3 business days. Where an operator supports digital currencies, withdrawals may clear in 15 minutes to 2 hours after identity checks. Availability always depends on the operator and local rules.
Bonuses: what local rules change
Welcome offers shown to players in Paraguay are usually quoted in PYG. Bonuses are quoted in euros or dollars and converted to guaraníes at the cashier, so compare wagering requirements directly. Read the wagering requirement, the maximum bet allowed while a bonus is active and the expiry window: those three clauses decide whether an offer is worth taking far more than the headline percentage does.
Player protection and self-exclusion
There is no national exclusion register, so set deposit limits and use the cooling-off and self-exclusion tools in your account. Every casino we list must offer deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and permanent self-exclusion. Support in Paraguay is available through the responsible-gaming tools in each operator's account area, and international help is available at gamblingtherapy.org.
How we rank casinos for this country
For Paraguay we filter our database to operators that accept local players, then score licence quality, verified payout speed, withdrawal limits, fairness of bonus terms, PYG support and the quality of customer service in the local language. Operators that block players from Paraguay, or that were slow to pay in our tests, are removed from this page rather than buried lower down.
