Gambling in Argentina is primarily regulated by the provinces, with the National Institute of Gambling (Instituto Nacional de Juegos de Azar, INJA) serving as an advisory body [1]. Online gambling is a growing sector, and the regulations vary across the country. Some provinces have explicitly legalized and regulated online casinos, while others have yet to establish a clear framework [1].
The province of Buenos Aires, for example, has legalized and regulated online gambling, issuing licenses to operators that meet specific criteria. These requirements include having a physical presence in the province, providing evidence of financial stability, and implementing responsible gaming policies [2]
"Buenos Aires is leading the way in Argentina's online gaming regulation, with a clear legal framework and a commitment to responsible gaming." GamblingCompliance [2]
Despite the progress in Buenos Aires, the lack of a unified national regulatory framework can create confusion and inconsistencies in the market. This situation may also expose Argentine players to unlicensed offshore online casinos, which could pose risks related to data security, money laundering, and underage gambling [2]
