More about gambling regulation

iGaming in Argentina is regulated at the provincial level, and in 15 out of 23 online gambling is allowed. According to recent news, in the capital city of Buenos Aires, which is the main center of online gambling, local opposition lawmakers have proposed to raise the tax on online gambling from 6% to 12%.

The proceeds are planned to be spent on launching a program to combat gambling addiction among teenagers.

The authorities of the capital continue their efforts to combat unlicensed operators and have recently blocked about 1,835 illegal sites.

In addition, officials have proposed an initiative to completely ban online gambling in the Argentine capital. Currently, there is no clear answer on the proposed bill.

In early December 2024, the province of San Juan in Argentina passed a bill to regulate online gambling to combat illegal internet gambling and fraud. The law legalizes lotteries, betting and games where the outcome depends on luck and skill.

At the same time, the country's Chamber of Deputies approved a bill banning online betting advertisements on television, radio, streaming services, social media, and outdoor advertising.

In addition, betting operators are planned to restrict sponsorship of sports teams and athletes. The regulatory act has been sent to the Senate, where a decision on its future will be made.

If the law is approved, the shadow market in the country will increase significantly as offshore will have a significant advantage over legal platforms.
