Bolivia Combats Illegal Gambling With App

Bolivia’s Authority of Taxation and Social Control over Gaming has launched a new app called “AJ Móvil” which will enable gamblers to check legality of gaming platforms, venues and games before taking part. The app is designed to combat illegal gaming which has been hurting Bolivia’s gambling industry.

Bolivia’s Authority of Taxation and Social Control over Gaming (called AJ) has launched a mobile app which will allow gamblers to check legality of gaming platforms, venues and games before taking part.

The mobile app, called “AJ Móvil,” is designed for Android phones.

Head of the AJ Jéssica Saravia Atristain told reporters that the app is now part of the services the AJ provides to ensure player protection measures.

“This tool will allow the public to corroborate instantly if the promotion, gaming house or lottery game where they wish to participate counts on the conditions and requirements of legality and transparency, and the Bolivian population can also verify the conditions of the raffles, the prizes on offer and where the prizes are awarded,” she said. “In the case of lottery draws you will be able to know the times and places of the games.”

The app can be downloaded via the AJ website.

The app, which was designed and developed by the AJ technical team, also provides information on the location of the only authorized gaming room in Bolivia and also presents a section where players can download current gaming regulations, the authority said in a press release.
