Key facts

National context: there is no federal law. The 'prevention of gambling addiction' bill, passed by the Chamber of Deputies in November 2024, provides for a total ban on advertising, biometric verification and a ban on bonuses; it has still not been voted on in the Senate. In May 2026, the Executive tabled a competing bill in the Senate: criminal penalties against illegal platforms, blocking by ENACOM, advertising by authorised operators maintained with restrictions, liability of influencers and the media. Neither has been passed as at 25 September 2026, according to the sources consulted.

Offshore sites

Illegal: sites not authorised by the provincial authority (including those with MGA/Curaçao licences) are clandestine within the meaning of provincial law; domain blocking and measures against advertising/influencers; in practice the player is not prosecuted.
