The <strong>Caja de Acci\u00f3n Social (CAS)<\/strong> has identified more than <strong>400 unauthorized betting websites and social media accounts<\/strong> promoting online gambling in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/colombian-gambling-news\/argentina-hits-a-very-strong-punch-to-illegal-online-gambling-exploitation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Argentina hits a very strong punch to Illegal Online gambling exploitation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to CAS director <strong>Juan Pablo Medina<\/strong>, the majority of these platforms operate without a license and often target young users through aggressive digital marketing campaigns.
