Uruguay authorises 180-day pilot for real-time prize-payment checks

Uruguay’s National Directorate of Lotteries and Pools approved Resolution No. 016/2026, authorising a 180-day pilot to monitor prize payments in real time across authorised games. The first 90-day phase began on 1 February 2026 in Montevideo’s collective pools, followed by a 90-day phase for pools elsewhere in the country; the current image-submission system will remain in place during the trial.
