Carlos Puglelli proposes adding clubs to Buenos Aires youth gambling prevention law
Buenos Aires provincial deputy Carlos Puglelli has proposed amending Law 12.108 to involve clubs and sports organisations in preventing and identifying problem gambling among children and adolescents. The proposal would have the provincial executive provide training materials to help club staff identify warning signs and refer young people to state services; Puglelli said clubs would have a preventive, not therapeutic, role.
If adopted, the bill would give sports clubs a defined role in prevention and referral while leaving treatment to state services.
