Casino, sports betting, poker and more
Córdoba treats online casino-style games, sports betting and poker within the same provincial online-gaming framework, but only through licensed operators. Casino and sports betting are expressly listed; poker is generally covered under the broader regime. The City of Córdoba has had a municipal ban, creating a city/province split.
| Product | Status | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Online sports betting | Legal | — |
| Online casino | Legal | — |
| Online poker | Licensed | Regulated in Córdoba under Law 10,793; online poker is generally included in the provincial online-gaming regime and may be offered by licensed operators. |
| Sweepstakes and social casinos | Not confirmed | Set nationally. No Argentine-specific sweepstakes/social casino regime found. No clear rules located for dual-currency or free-to-play-with-prizes models. |
| Prediction markets | Not confirmed | Set nationally. Unconfirmed for Argentina; no clear regime found for real-money prediction markets. They may fall outside gambling rules or require securities/financial oversight. |
| Mystery boxes | Not confirmed | Set nationally. I found no Argentina-specific law or regulator decision expressly classifying paid mystery boxes/loot boxes as gambling; Argentina’s gambling regulation is provincial, and general gambling rules target unauthorised wagering (e.g., Criminal Code art. 301 bis, no national regulator). |
