The project obtained an opinion in a massive plenary session of legislatorswhere five commissions converged (Addiction Prevention, Public Health, IT, Criminal Legislation and Families and Children). There, 90 of the 148 deputies present joined the majority project that has the central impetus of the Civic Coalition, Union for the Homeland, Federal Meeting and Democracy forever (of radical opponents). There is a less coercive proposal for the circulation of online betting advertisingwhich has the support of PRO, La Libertad Avanza and the UCR.
According to a study by the Ombudsman’s Office of the Province of Buenos Aires, at least 12.5% of young people between 15 and 25 years old have bet online at some pointa figure that amounts to 15.5% among people between 25 and 34 years old. The study, anchored in the Buenos Aires territory, revealed that 10.1% of online gamblers play every day of the week, while 25.7% do it between two and six times and 19.2% once every seven days. The most chosen options for betting are linked to the football (41.2%), bingo (37%) and boxing (16.8%).
If it becomes law, advertising online betting and gambling It will be allowed only inside casinos, bingo halls, racetracks, other betting houses or lottery agencies. The impact would reach different private and civil society sectors and even Argentine soccer: both the Professional Soccer League and the 28% of the first division teams They have online casino advertising.
Another of the salient points of the project is that limits the means of payment to the use of debit cards with a limit equivalent to that allowed for withdrawals at ATMs, same limit that is authorized for virtual wallets. The granting of bonuses or vouchers by betting houses is prohibited, as well as the use of credit systems and social assistance benefit cards.
Another major problem that the project seeks to stop is the access of minors to these platforms. In this way, it is proposed biometric identification of users at the beginning of each session and after a while of playing, using the database of the National Registry of Persons (RENAPER) to validate identity remotely, through facial recognition.
At the same time, online gaming platforms and systems are required to meet a series of security requirements. responsible betting that allow consumers to access true information about the practices in which they participate, their user history, time spent online, self-exclusion mechanisms, the possibility of establishing time and money limits and alerts, and help and assistance sections.
Another key aspect of the project is that it seeks to create a national voluntary self-exclusion registry. This will help the person who believes they have problems with gambling to self-exclude for up to 24 monthsand establishments and online platforms must enforce this prohibition. The project establishes sanctions of penalties and fines for non-compliance by the owners and third parties involved, among others. 3 to 10 years in prison.
