Local rails dominate: Mercado Pago, MODO and DEBIN are the LOTBA-enforced standard, alongside debit cards, bank transfers (CBU/CVU), e-wallets (Ualá, Cuenta DNI, Naranja X) and cash networks (Rapipago, Pago Fácil). ARS FX controls (cepo cambiario) were significantly liberalised under the Milei government in 2024–2025. PSPs are BCRA-regulated.

Crypto gambling is prohibited.
