Buenos Aires province’s gambling commission began examining an online betting regulation bill on 14 October. Its proposals include facial biometric checks, limits on session time and access, and restrictions on using the word “game” in commercial communications. The measures remained under examination, while the two debtor-access measures had reached different legislative stages. ³¹²

In Río Negro, a submitted bill would allow indigenous communities to operate casinos, with economic development and financial autonomy as its stated aims. Separately, the provincial lottery and National University of Río Negro awarded prizes in a student competition that received 44 entries from three campuses. ⁴⁵
