The Instituto Provincial de Loterías y Casinos (IPLyC) in Buenos Aires province grants licences with a 15-year term, while LOTBA S.E., regulating the City of Buenos Aires under Ley 538, grants permits for only 5 years — a mixed-durability distinction, since the enabling statutes are durable but the specific term figures are sourced from trade commentary rather than primary instruments. Lotería de Córdoba S.E. regulates under Ley 8665, a durable statutory basis. No unified national B2B licence exists: the standing National Gambling Law, Ley 27.506 of the National Lottery, governs nationally-administered games but has contested and limited reach over private online gambling given provincial constitutional primacy over gambling regulation. No T1 primary source from any provincial regulator was retrieved this cycle, leaving these claims at Uncertain-to-Probable confidence pending a consolidated register.
