Buenos Aires lawmakers urge faster action on youth online gambling proposals
Lawmakers in Buenos Aires province called for faster consideration of measures to prevent minors from accessing online gambling, including biometric checks, payment restrictions and limits on advertising. Diego Garciarena said one in three young people aged 12 to 17 had reportedly bet online for money; he also cited an estimated starting age of about 13 and said 12% had gambling-related debts.
The proposed measures could change access, payment and advertising controls for online gambling operators in Buenos Aires province.
