(AsiaGameHub) – Argentina’s National Communications Agency (ENACOM) has confirmed it has blocked 251 unlicensed gambling websites. Officials verified that all of these sites were operating without official approval within the province of Buenos Aires.
The probe, headed by San Isidro cybercrime prosecutors, confirmed that these platforms offered Argentine users casino-style games, sports betting markets, and the common promise of hassle-free withdrawals. For average users, there were almost no obvious signs that anything was improper.
Authorities discovered that most of these platforms operated without any real oversight. Investigators have repeatedly found cases where users were completely unable to withdraw their funds. The money appears to have vanished entirely into unregulated, untracked systems.
Illegal gambling is not a new problem in Argentina, but the shift to unregulated online gambling has made it much harder to control. Buenos Aires officials note that this is why coordinated action between agencies is so important.
The blocking of 251 websites is a major step and a remarkable development in the country’s crackdown on illegal gambling. This action helps bring a large share of the illegal gambling market under regulatory control.
