“The objective of awarding prizes only in money is to strengthen monitoring, control and inspection for greater accuracy in the settlement base, this allows reducing information asymmetries between the operator and regulator due to the difficulty of a precise assessment. The reporting and control system is designed to access reliable and specific data in terms of information contained in this document, as a minimum it must extract sample data from the system in order to perform audits on the data sent and registered”

For this, the Technical System of the Game must guarantee the integrity and reliability of the information stored in the different components of the same, (databases and information systems), and ensure compliance with controls that guarantee the traceability of data changes. generated in time.
