Through a statement, Lotería Correntina reported that the objective is to combat “illegality in the field of online gambling and protect the community, especially the most vulnerable sectors such as young people.”
In the document, it was reported that the reported platforms violate article 301 bis of the Argentine Penal Code, which punishes those who manage, exploit or organize games of chance without due authorization from the competent jurisdictional authority with prison sentences of three to six years.
“This legal action is part of a strategic plan that seeks to confront head-on the proliferation of unregulated sites, which represent a serious risk for citizens by lacking controls, guarantees and security measures,” they pointed out.
In addition to the complaints, Lotería Correntina develops awareness campaigns about the risks of illegal gambling and the importance of betting only on authorized platforms. These actions are part of a comprehensive policy aimed at promoting a regulated and safe environment for bettors.
Last May, within the framework of an active campaign against the advance of online clandestine gaming pages, Lotería Correntina issued regulations that invite the entire community to take action in the fight against illegal gambling.
In recent years, Internet sites have increased their illegal gambling offers, for this reason Lotería Correntina enables complaint forms on its website www.loteriacorrentina.gov.ar to combat its proliferation.
In addition, we have been working in collaboration with ALEA (Association of Argentine State Lotteries) to restrict and block the profiles that promote this type of illegal offers on the social networks Facebook and Instagram that belong to the META company.
In addition, Correntina Lottery promotes safe and legal sites for placing bets, such as the recently launched gaming platform www.lacorrentinaonline.bet.ar; informing and clarifying to the betting public that a legal site must contain the ending “.bet.ar” in its domain, which ensures a safe and reliable game in which your bet returns to Corrientes society.
