Legal Summary

Buenos Aires Province regulates online gambling under Law No. 15,079 and Decree No. 181/19. IPLyC lists seven authorised platforms: Bet365, Betano, Betsson, BetWarrior, Bplay, Sportsbet and Stake. Atlas rechecked the current authorised set on 7 September 2026 and maps the provincial BetWarrior profile to pba.betwarrior.bet.ar, rather than confusing it with the separate caba.betwarrior.bet.ar domain. The official notice writes Sportsbet as “Sportbet”; Atlas keeps the brand spelling attached to sportsbet.bet.ar.
