Reportedly, online gaming earns close to $2.4bn in revenue annually in Argentina, but because the gaming sector is barely regulated by the federal government, Argentina barely benefits. According to the new proposal, 95% of the revenue will be given to the country’s provinces. The government will have the right to check bank and billing data to keep track of online bets. Arsat, the Argentinian telecommunications company, will help monitor gambling activity.
The country’s jurisdictions are working to establish their own regulations. Some drafted short-term proposals while others allow provisional operations. Buenos Aires prepared final regulations for online gambling that was approved in September.
