Puerto Rico government seeks advisors for Gaming Commission

The Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (AAFAF) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) seeking a consultancy firm to provide advisory services to the new Puerto Rico Gaming Commission.

The winning party will work with the Commission to draft regulations governing gambling in the US territory, as well as support the regulatory body with respect to activities under its jurisdiction such as sports betting, fantasy sports contests and esports.

The consultancy will also be responsible for developing ways for the Commission to carry out its key duties, modelled on the processes employed by regulators in other US jurisdictions. In addition, the successful bidder will deliver interim progress reports.

“This process will serve to identify qualified firms that meet the essential requirements to develop such regulations, thereby reinforcing the current public policy of Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced, which authorises sports betting, fantasy contests and electronic games,” AAFAF executive director and chief financial officer of the government, Omar Marrero, said.
