Uruguayan sports betting

The gambling market of Uruguay is well regulated and players can enjoy themselves with brick-and-mortar casinos, lottery games and horse racing. Online betting is not regulated yet, but there will be new laws which should provide legalization, regulation and licensing of all internet betting.

By now, all Uruguayan players can wager on the best international bookmakers and gambling winnings are currently not taxed in Uruguay. Actually, the only form of legal sport betting is the “Supermatch“, a kind of pari-mutual betting ran by the State Monopoly, as well as the National Lottery (it can be played online).

There is also a ban dated 2017 that prohibits all forms of online poker and casinos via remote channels and it can be considered as a reiteration of a 1895 Uruguayan law.
