Buenos Aires Province is the active centre of gambling-regulatory movement in Argentina this period. A 2 percent withholding on prizes from immediate-resolution online games, introduced by IPLyC Resolucion 1149/2026 under Ley 15.079, took effect 1 September 2026 and applies to the province's seven licensed online platforms, with sports betting currently excluded. In parallel, the PBA Legislature's Comision de Ludopatia is consolidating roughly twenty-two to twenty-seven pending gambling bills into a single 64-article draft statute amending Leyes 15.079 and 15.131, targeted for an October 2026 floor vote. The Unidad de Informacion Financiera has also opened an institutional cooperation channel with the licensed casino and bingo chamber on illegal gambling and money laundering risk. None of these developments is yet prohibitive of market access; together they signal tightening fiscal and legislative attention on the online channel ahead of a possible consolidated statute.
