Casino, sports betting, poker and more
Chubut appears to license online casino-style games and sports betting through IAS, with poker included in the regulated package. Land-based gambling is also provincially controlled; no separate statewide online poker-only regime was confirmed.
| Product | Status | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Online sports betting | Legal | — |
| Online casino | Legal | — |
| Online poker | Licensed | Allowed only when offered by IAS-authorized provincial operators; Chubut has regulated online gambling under Law I No. 799/2024. |
| 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). |

Regulator and law
Instituto de Asistencia Social (IAS) / Lotería del Chubut
Ley I N.º 799; later provincial online-gambling rules.
Advertising unlicensed gambling in Chubut
Prohibited. 2024 provincial anti-ludopathy law material.
Provincial law material says direct or indirect promotion of virtual gambling is prohibited; offshore-operator advertising is therefore treated as restricted.
National rules also apply — see online gambling regulation in Argentina.
Checking a licence
The regulator publishes a list of licensed or authorised operators.
