Argentina: “Lula Law” proposed to ban online betting in Buenos Aires province

Buenos Aires provincial senator Federico Fagioli has introduced a bill seeking to ban online betting, including slots, roulette, blackjack, poker, and sports betting . The initiative has been dubbed the “Lula Law,” referring to the iGaming ban imposed by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva late last month. The bill seeks to repeal Chapter VIII of Online Gambling Regulation Law No. 15,079, thereby revoking licenses authorizing these activities and allowing only lotteries, quinielas and raffles , as well as the electronic sale of games that do not involve betting or cash prizes.
