Mercedes councillors propose blocking betting sites on public Wi-Fi

A group of Unión Cívica Radical councillors in Mercedes, led by Débora Lacasa, submitted a draft ordinance to restrict access to online betting sites and apps on municipal and public Wi-Fi networks. The proposal would also establish a public reporting channel, an awareness and psychological support programme, a voluntary self-exclusion register for adults, and a ban on betting advertising and sponsorship in public spaces; it is due for consideration at the next ordinary council session.
