Uruguay president backs support for horse racing and wider development
Uruguay's president, Yamandú Orsi, said the state would support the country's horse-racing sector at an awards event at Maroñas racecourse. Separately, the casino operators' association has submitted a draft online gambling bill to the Economy Ministry and political representatives, but it has not yet formally reached Parliament.
The proposed bill could limit online gambling operations to companies authorised to run land-based casinos if lawmakers take it forward.
