Buenos Aires lawmakers fail to advance online gambling bill after quorum lapse
A committee of the Buenos Aires provincial Chamber of Deputies could not discuss a bill on online gambling and advertising on 12 November because it lacked a quorum, chair Micaela Olivetto said. The proposal would direct 3% of monthly betting revenue to sports-related funding, but opposition lawmakers want municipalities to distribute the money. Olivetto and co-sponsor Facundo Tignanelli called another meeting for 17 November.
The bill’s progress could determine how online gambling is regulated and how betting revenue is allocated to sports organisations.
