Regulators in Argentina Ask for Domain Harmonization for Gambling Sites
Gambling regulators in Argentina want the country's future gambling websites to switch to bet.ar domains.
Starting tomorrow, all gambling operators in Argentina will be able to adopt the bet.ar extension subject to final regulatory approval by the Association of Argentina’s State Lotteries. The association hopes to reduce the number of illegal gambling websites and increase consumer awareness of them. It will outsource the responsibility for individual approvals in provinces to the local branches.
The regulator is preparing for an influx of new gambling companies. Argentina's push towards gambling legalization has been tentative. Buenos Aires was the first city to invite online gambling operations. The country enjoys growing interest from sports betting and entertainment companies after Argentina’s Premier League rebranded as Torneo Socios.com.
