The Chamber of Deputies of Argentina will debate a federal measure on Wednesday, 27 November, to ban all gambling advertising and sponsorships.
The debate has been fast-tracked after “five opposition blocs in Congress” united to support a proposal that prohibits “any form of advertising or sponsorship promoting gaming and betting companies”.
Civic Committees, responsible for creating a federal framework to reduce gambling-related harm and address pathological behaviors, back the measure.
Thee committees of Addiction Prevention, Social Action, Communications, Criminal Legislation, and Families and Youth, are working together to finalize policies for a new federal bill on gambling protections. The bill aims to establish a federal law to overrides existing state regulations on gambling.
