Casino, sports betting, poker and more
Chaco treats online poker within its regulated online-gaming framework, overseen by Lotería Chaqueña. Sports betting and casino-style online games are also part of the provincial online-gambling regime, but offshore sites are commonly described as unauthorized; the main difference is licensing and operator authorization, not a separate federal poker regime.
| Product | Status | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Online sports betting | Not confirmed | — |
| Online casino | Not confirmed | — |
| Online poker | Licensed | Online poker is regulated/allowed in Chaco under provincial oversight, with Lotería Chaqueña as regulator; licensed local operators only. |
| Sweepstakes and social casinos | Not confirmed | Set nationally. No Argentine-specific sweepstakes/social casino regime found. No clear rules located for dual-currency or free-to-play-with-prizes models. |
| Prediction markets | Not confirmed | Set nationally. Unconfirmed for Argentina; no clear regime found for real-money prediction markets. They may fall outside gambling rules or require securities/financial oversight. |
| Mystery boxes | Not confirmed | Set nationally. I found no Argentina-specific law or regulator decision expressly classifying paid mystery boxes/loot boxes as gambling; Argentina’s gambling regulation is provincial, and general gambling rules target unauthorised wagering (e.g., Criminal Code art. 301 bis, no national regulator). |
