In practice, that language is designed to remove grey areas: the regulator can <strong>authorize, regulate, organize, administer, exploit, audit and control<\/strong> online betting activity, and it may issue <strong>technical, operational, fiscal and control standards<\/strong>, as well as approve specific rulebooks for each modality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9622\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry observers note the decree is less about creating a brand-new power and more about <strong>formalizing<\/strong> enforcement authority that the regulator says it already applied through existing concessions. The key difference is legal certainty: by spelling out the online scope, Neuqu\u00e9n strengthens its ability to act against non-compliant operations and to demand that licensed platforms meet clearer technical and reporting expectations. Local reporting also points to the market\u2019s footprint on the ground: in <strong>Neuqu\u00e9n capital<\/strong>, there are <strong>two online platforms<\/strong> linked to a casino operator in the city\u2019s western zone, with additional offerings in smaller municipalities that have traditionally received less public attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/neuquen-expands-ijan-authority-to-police-online-betting-under-decree-37-262-1024x569.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/neuquen-expands-ijan-authority-to-police-online-betting-under-decree-37-262-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/neuquen-expands-ijan-authority-to-police-online-betting-under-decree-37-262-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/neuquen-expands-ijan-authority-to-police-online-betting-under-decree-37-262-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/neuquen-expands-ijan-authority-to-police-online-betting-under-decree-37-262.png 1276w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For operators and suppliers, the message is straightforward: in Neuqu\u00e9n, online betting is no longer treated as an \u201cadjacent\u201d activity\u2014it is now squarely inside the regulator\u2019s core supervisory perimeter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neuqu\u00e9n IJAN online betting regulation, Decree 37\/26, Argentina provincial gambling oversight, sports betting compliance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14923,"menu_order":11,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4379,354,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-14920","1":"gambling","2":"type-gambling","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sin-categoria","8":"tag-argentina","9":"tag-responsible-gambling","10":"tag-sports-betting","11":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
