The municipality of Castelli in Buenos Aires province has restricted access to online gambling websites across all state-managed internet networks. The measure covers public Wi-Fi zones, government offices, and educational institutions.
Technical Restrictions and Youth Programs
Mayor Francisco Echarren approved the policy to address increasing gambling activity among teenagers. Local internet service providers will implement technical filters to block betting platforms on municipal connections. The administration will also distribute educational materials highlighting the potential risks of online wagering for younger demographics.This local initiative aligns with ongoing national debates regarding the regulation of digital gambling services in Argentina. Municipal authorities view network restrictions as a practical step to limit youth exposure before broader legislative frameworks are established.
