Poker Rooms in Argentina
Live poker in Argentina is licensed province by province. In the capital that means LOTBA and the floating casino in Puerto Madero.
Playing live in Argentina
Argentina has no federal casino regulator. Each province, and the City of Buenos Aires separately, licenses and supervises gambling on its own territory. In the capital that authority is LOTBA, the Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires; the neighbouring Province of Buenos Aires runs its own system through IPLyC, which is why several large casinos sit just outside the city limits in Tigre and along the coast.
Minimum age is 18 and a photo ID is required at the door. Games are played in Argentine pesos. Entry to the main Buenos Aires casino is free.
Poker in the capital is a cash-game scene. Tournament series move around the country and are run by private organisers in provincial casinos rather than by the venue listed here, so check a room’s own channels before travelling for a specific event.
