Play’n Go Approved to Offer Slots in Buenos Aires

The online gambling provider, Play’n Go, has received approval from the Buenos Aires City Gaming Regulator, Lotería de la ciudad de Buenos Aires (LOTBA), to provide its online slot machines to authorized operators in the Argentine capital.

Play’n Go has already been validated in the province of Buenos Aires, so it’s now authorized throughout the entire province, which is the largest and most populated in Argentina (approximately 17 million people).

Play’n Go states that this new authorization allows any operator already collaborating with them to expand into Buenos Aires and be certain they can continue offering Play’n Go games there.

Sissel Weitzhandler, the company’s Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, stated: “We are cautious about our participation in each regulated region.

“Argentina’s new regulations are positive, and we are enthusiastic about supporting our partners in this newly regulated market.”

Cristian Acuna, Head of Latin American Sales, added: “We recognize that Buenos Aires is the primary focus in Latin America, but we are confident that our diverse selection of games will be well-received by players.”

Weve gained valuable insights from our endeavors in Latin America, revealing that Argentine athletes possess distinct characteristics compared to their counterparts in Colombia, Peru, or Mexico. It’s crucial to acknowledge that Latin America is not a monolithic entity, and our approach must reflect this diversity.

Argentina’s constituent regions are currently enacting regulations governing online gambling on a case-by-case basis.

In February of the previous year, the city of Buenos Aires established licensing criteria, aiming to initiate the market in the final quarter of 2020.

Last week, Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) and Argentine gambling and entertainment operator Grupo Slot received authorization to commence operations of a novel betting platform within the city. This collaborative venture, christened Jugadon.bet, represents a fresh online casino and sports betting brand.
