Lotteries and legal betting sites have launched a campaign and reported more than 250 illegal sites that allow minors to gamble. The Asociación de Loterías Estatales Argentinas (ALEA) and the Cámara Argentina de Salas de Casinos, Bingos y Anexos (CASCBA) have joined forces with the country’s most important betting sites to raise awareness and announce that, on their platforms, “only adults play.” Consequently, they have reported 254 illegal online betting sites that allow minors to enter.
Although access to online gambling for minors is prohibited, there are hundreds of illegal betting sites that do not perform any type of control, allowing anyone to enter. This campaign, which will be launched alongside the Copa América, features prominent sports journalists and aims to highlight the differences between legal sites, which all end in .bet.ar and do not allow minors to enter, and illegal ones, which use international or dynamic domains to avoid controls.
In addition to the awareness campaign and the reports made by the state lotteries of each jurisdiction, CASCBA has filed a criminal complaint to block access to 254 illegal betting sites currently operating in Argentina without any control or authorization. ALEA and CASCBA are working to raise awareness so that banks, virtual wallets, media, and social networks stop promoting or facilitating access to these types of sites.
Among the sites that joined the awareness project, the Chamber of Casinos, Bingos, and Annexes thanked BetWarrior, Betano, Betsson, Bplay, Bet365, City Center Rosario, Casino Magic Neuquén, Lotería de Misiones, Casino Club, Casino Buenos Aires, and Betfun for their commitment.
According to explanations from the associations, access to online gambling for minors is prohibited, and ensuring compliance is a priority and of utmost importance for both the state and the legally operating betting houses in Argentina. “The problem lies in the fact that there are hundreds of illegal betting sites that do not perform any type of control, facilitating the entry of anyone,” they said.
