Conalot declares itself the sole authority on lotteries in Venezuela
An inspector who appears to audit a lottery or raffle in Venezuela must carry credentials from the National Lottery Commission (Conalot) and the administrative documentation supporting the procedure. If they do not have it, they are not acting on behalf of the agency. This is the central warning that Conalot disseminated through its social media, insisting that no other agency can regulate or control this activity within the national territory.
The communication emphasizes exclusivity. The agency maintains that inspecting, supervising, and controlling each of the obligated parties is its exclusive task according to current regulations, and that operations are carried out solely by identified and accredited officials.
This does not exclude cooperation. Conalot clarified that it can coordinate actions with other state agencies and receive their support when circumstances warrant it, always within its own competencies. It concluded the message with a commitment to transparent management, adhering to legality and compliance with regulations.
Conalot is the national entity that authorizes, regulates, and supervises lotteries, raffles, and similar games in Venezuela. Statements of this type aim to clear up doubts among operators and lottery agencies about who can demand documentation from them, a sensitive point in a sector with an extended network of points of sale.
