Short answer

The Instituto Provincial de Lotería y Casinos is the body that licenses and supervises gambling in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina's most populous province. Because Argentina has no national online gambling law, the province regulates online casinos and betting on its own under a provincial law.

About the Instituto Provincial de Lotería y Casinos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires

Its licences are valid only for players located in the province. The province uses a limited and competitive model. A small, fixed number of online licences were awarded by public tender for long terms that cannot be extended. International companies had to partner with local Argentine businesses to take part. Licensed sites show the institute's logo and their licence number and use a .bet.ar domain. The institute also publishes the list of licensed operators on its official portal. Operators must offer deposit limits, self-exclusion and visible warnings about gambling risks. The institute runs a prevention and assistance programme with free care centres and a dedicated helpline for people who need support with problem gambling.
