Progress in the regulation of the sector

The bet.ar domain will identify authorized online gaming platforms in Argentina

In a new step towards the regulation of online gambling in Argentina and in order to contribute to the identification of the legal offer of the sector, a new regulation establishes the unification of the registries of the entire country of sites and platforms enabled by the regulatory bodies of each jurisdiction. In this way, only websites with the bet.ar domain will be approved for virtual bets.

In accordance with what was established this week by Resolution 42/2019 and Provision 68/2019, approved by the Legal and Technical Secretariat of the Nation through the National Directorate of the Internet Domain Registry, a special area is created on the Internet that will allow official lotteries to register domain names.

In this way, the regulatory bodies of each jurisdiction will be able to register websites with the bet.ar domain to operate virtual bets in the country.

This information is extremely useful both for the public, who will be able to clearly identify the authorized internet websites, and for state lotteries that have been making a great effort to combat illegal gambling, which has increased widely in the current context of pandemic.

This new step represents a great advance in the regulation of online gambling in the country.

In this context, Lotería de Río Negro reported that it will begin with the necessary steps to incorporate the bet.ar domain into the Casino del Río digital platform, the only authorized online gambling offer in the province of Río Negro.
