Argentina’s Chamber of Deputies has kicked-off discussions on stricter gambling regulations after reports of increased engagement from minors. The idea to curb minor participation in gambling and sports betting on a national level has been tossed around ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, when the country collectively launched its regulated online gambling market.

As reported by SBC Noticias, the most recent legislative talks are focused around limiting the appeal of the sector among young people and those who have self-excluded themselves.

Currently, 11 different legislative projects have been presented to the Argentinian Addiction Prevention Commission – headed by the Chamber of Deputies. The next step will be to commission a number of field studies assessing their impact, as well as putting out a request for testimonies from various sports clubs and the Argentine Football Association (AFA).
