Launching an Online Casino in Argentina: What Operators Need to Know
Argentina is one of the most promising online gambling markets in Latin America, thanks to its mix of population size, mobile usage, and expanding local regulation. But here’s the catch: gambling laws vary by province. Each region has its own licensing process, making expansion less about a single approval and more about local partnerships.
Where Can You Legally Operate?
The leading provinces for online gambling regulation are:
- Buenos Aires Province
- Buenos Aires City (CABA)
- Santa Fe
- Cordoba (in progress)
Each province runs its own tender process, so you’ll need a local partner and must meet their licensing conditions.
License Requirements Usually Include:
- Local business incorporation
- Partnership with a licensed land-based operator
- Technical certification of platform and games
- Responsible gaming compliance
Payment integration with local banks and fintechs
Why Argentina Matters
Operators gain access to a growing user base, improved market legitimacy, and local advertising rights. But competition is rising fast especially among sportsbook-first brands expanding into casino.
