Uruguay's online gaming laws are being pressured for reform by the international lobbying group, the National Federation of Uruguayan Gaming (FENAJU).
According to statements made to the media by FENAJU president Leonel Revelese, the expansion of online gaming has “enormous and negative repressions on Uruguayan society.”
Revelese believes that thousands of jobs are in peril while providing no resources back to the state. The official believes he's left “no choice” but to formally denounce their actions to the country's Ministry of Economy and the Casino and Lottery Boards.
The FENAJU president believes that online gaming operators are making the most of free trade zones in Uruguay that are regularly exploited by the State and personal companies, “We have already repeatedly warned that this it's unreasonable and unlawful that online gaming is being authorized in free trade zones. When the problem is already grand scale they are saying that it should be regulated but if online gaming is already present its impossible to regulate.”
Revelese further announced that the official complaint can be issued this weeks with hopes that it's going to “open up the problem for crucial debate at the politics of gaming and exceptionally what forms of gaming are within the hands of the state.”
This isn't the first time new online gaming laws was demanded in recent times. Javier Chá, Director of the Uruguayan Gaming Board, asked the country's Parliament to urgently enact changes to Uruguay’s gaming laws in March 2013. He has blamed the government’s loss of intervention for the upward thrust of illegal gaming in Uruguay.
