Casino Buenos Aires has achieved the Level III Responsible Gaming Certification granted by Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (LOTBA), a recognition reserved for operators that can demonstrate mature, documented and independently audited safer-gambling practices.
The certification is anchored in LOTBA’s responsible gaming standard, which draws on the World Lottery Association (WLA) framework and requires a structured program across three key pillars: player protection, transparent processes and continuous improvement. In practice, that means clear information on risks, staff training, early-warning tools for risky behavior and formal channels to guide players toward help when needed.
This achievement does not happen in a vacuum. LOTBA’s broader “Saber Jugar” program has already been highlighted by GLI in an international case study as a model of how regulators can combine public-health goals with robust technical oversight. Level III for Casino Buenos Aires reinforces that same philosophy: safer play is treated as a measurable, auditable obligation, not just a marketing slogan.
Across Latin America, the direction of travel is similar. In Colombia, Coljuegos has been urging on-site and online operators to implement formal responsible gambling programs and internal controls, aligning technical requirements, risk management and player-protection obligations under new guidelines and draft regulations. The message is clear: regulators increasingly expect casinos, online platforms and even suppliers to prove—on paper and through audits—that they comply with international best practices.
For operators, the Casino Buenos Aires milestone is both a benchmark and a warning. Those who invest early in WLA-style frameworks, GLI-type audits and structured responsible gaming programs will be better positioned when certifications become a de-facto requirement for licenses, renewals or access to new verticals. Those who postpone that investment may find that “business as usual” is no longer an option in a region where regulators are steadily moving the industry toward higher standards of integrity, transparency and player protection.
