Enforcement: How hard does the regulator enforce?

DGJA's first enforcement acts, issued 13 October 2026, were Resolutions 01-2026 and 02-2026. Resolution 01-2026 bans the opening of new lottery banks, agencies and other gambling establishments and the installation of new lottery vending machines. Resolution 02-2026 gives operators a non-extendable thirty calendar day window to declare, under oath, any shops opened irregularly. A further report dated 16 October 2026 states that DGJA will apply Law 86-26's sanctions regime, including provisional suspension of draws, against entities breaching the statute's five-hundred-metre school exclusion zone. These are the regulator's first substantive acts under the new statute, and they are restrictive rather than facilitative: a moratorium on new openings, a narrow compliance-declaration window, and a stated willingness to suspend draws for siting violations. The statute also reportedly grants power to block unauthorised foreign gambling platforms and freeze related bank transfers, extending enforcement exposure to the payment layer. No enforcement events beyond these three items have been evidenced, and the underlying statutory detail rests on secondary legal-commentary reporting rather than the primary gazette text, which was not independently retrieved.
