Lawmakers in Buenos Aires Province are reviewing a 64-article bill that would establish a tighter framework for online gambling.
The proposal went before the provincial Chamber of Deputies’ gambling committee on 12 November, where members can amend the text before any floor vote.What the draft proposes
- Biometric identity checks before accounts are activated.
- Deposit ceilings and mandatory session time limits.
- A province-wide online gambling advertising ban and restrictions on sponsorships reaching minors.
- A ban on welcome bonuses and rewards linked to betting frequency.
- A specialist prosecutor for illegal online betting, plus funds for mental health care and sports clubs.
The bill is not law and must still progress through the provincial legislature. If adopted, its acquisition, retention and compliance provisions would materially reshape operators’ marketing and onboarding models in one of Argentina’s largest provincial markets.
