Uruguay
Market profile
Dirección General de Casinos (DGC) / Dirección Nacional de Loterías y Quinielas (DNLQ)
Uruguay retains a state-led model: the Dirección General de Casinos directly operates and oversees the state casino network. Online casino games such as poker, roulette and slots remain prohibited under the published DNLQ rules, while specifically authorised products such as Supermatch are treated separately. Atlas therefore does not present Uruguay as an open online-casino market.
