Argentina is one of the most attractive and fast-developing online gambling markets in Latin America. With more provinces regulating digital gaming and the Buenos Aires region leading the way, now is the ideal time to expand into this high-potential market.
Why Argentina’s iGaming Market Deserves Attention
- The country’s 23 provinces regulate gambling independently, opening multiple entry points
- Buenos Aires Province and City together account for over 40% of Argentina’s population
- Online gambling is projected to surpass €1.4 billion in annual revenue by 2026
- Widespread access to smartphones and high digital engagement
Regulatory Overview
Online casino operations in Argentina are not governed by a federal law — each province sets its own framework. The most active jurisdictions are:
Buenos Aires Province:
- Regulated by IPLyC (Provincial Lottery and Casino Institute)
- Licences limited to partnerships with local land-based operators
Buenos Aires City (CABA):
- Governed by LOTBA (Lottery of the City of Buenos Aires)
- International operators can apply
All operators must meet compliance criteria:
- RNG/game certification (via GLI, BMM, etc.)
- AML/KYC and responsible gaming modules
- Local partnership agreements
- Regulatory audits and tax reporting
Local Payment Ecosystem
To succeed in Argentina, your platform must support:
- Cash-based options: PagoFacil, Rapipago
- Digital wallets: MercadoPago, Ualá
- Bank transfers and debit cards
- Cryptocurrencies (in some provinces, via local agreements)
Blokotech provides seamless integration with all these options via native APIs.
