## Full section analysis

Uruguay is a rule-of-law jurisdiction with procedural, low-intensity enforcement in the gambling sector. The legal framework authorises ISP blocking of unauthorised gambling sites, and authorities have actively blocked offshore platforms. There are no documented major monetary penalties against offshore operators — the market is too small to attract sustained enforcement resource. SENACLAFT, established under Ley 19.574, supervises AML compliance and is among the most capable AML agencies in South America; gambling entities are obligated reporting subjects. Litigation has arisen at the land-based level (e.g. the Casino Nogaró/Vidaplan claim against the DGC).
