As a general rule, 3% of the net revenue from fixed-odd bets will be allocated to the fund. The measure establishes a transition: in 2026, the percentage will be 1% and, in 2027, 2%. It will be 3% from 2028.
The remainder of the amounts collected will be distributed among various ministries, non-governmental organizations and sports entities, including the National Public Security Fund and Social Security.
