Argentina's government has introduced a bill to Congress aimed at regulating online gambling and preventing gambling addiction. The proposed legislation assigns the Health Ministry a key role in addressing compulsive gambling as a public health issue, coordinating prevention and treatment efforts nationwide. The bill also seeks to limit advertising, enhance protections for minors, and strengthen data collection on gambling addiction. A significant aspect of the bill is its focus on financial enforcement against illegal betting platforms. It proposes prohibiting banks, payment providers, and virtual asset service providers from offering services to unauthorized operators, effectively banning crypto payments for these platforms. The bill also includes measures to block access to technical and economic resources used by illegal operators and imposes penalties, including prison terms, for those involved in unauthorized gambling activities. The proposal now awaits debate in Congress.
