As “the drug work”: Argentine’s arguments limit the gambling of teenagers | Business and Economic News

Buenos Aires, Argentina – It is December in the Buenos Aires capital, and summer temperatures are increased in 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit).

The sun is overwhelming in the roof of the combined metal of Villa Fioro, a southern Argentina city area.

Youth youths in FLip-flops ride their motorcycles on dirty roads. Some children are looking for shady spots to rest and clean their feet in the garden hose.

Carla G, who asked anonymity, is one of the youth of neighbors. Over the age of 18, he is nearing the end of the high school. One of his favorite myths played soccer friends with his or her cupcakes, not far away from the Dieego Maradona, a famous player, grew up.

But his hobbies took backseat in past June when he started gambling online.

“Almost all my friends at school are involved in online hijacking in some way,” Carla said. “They agree to be a problem.”

Carla is part of the growing practices in the Argentina: Youths and young adults gambling their online money.

Finally, the Ombudsman of Buenos Aires City published a report that found that a quarter of local students at the age of 12 to 19 years were flowing online.

Most, 67 percent, points to immediate demand as their motivation. As poverty goes up in Argentina, experts are afraid that betting the internet will be all who are mostly trained – and illegal platforms, and the official platforms, will increase.

But the question of control-free gambling is proven against, especially under the Staunch Free-Market Free-Market Presidency Office

Carla’s story

In Carla, it was an adrenaline, feeling – and the need to help her family escape poverty – who pushed her to online gambling.

The 18-year-old sister and her 26-year-old sister, and her six-year-old nammu. Family depends on Mayra’s income to pass.

But in April, Mayra lost a gig at a used furniture store. Discovering income, Mayra was removed from bathing her neighbor’s cloths.

However, the family strives to cover their debt. Mayra said sometimes you go to bed without dinner, for the demand for money.

Carla therefore decided to take things from her hands. He said he replaced his usual soccer practices and hours spilled in his room, working as a cashier in a visible crisis.

A friend who is close to him had set his work. “The visible virus is very prevalent in the area that most families participate, make it a normal,” Carla said.

But he reveals that his work entrusted him in the party’s internet plan, one that led up to the constant hiring body to pay for the system.

“Casher gathered money from Bitors caregivers and received the commission of each players,” explains Carla.

“But there is a catcher: Suppose a cashier collects $ 100 to collect $ 100 winning $ 150. Paying in his pocket, cashier should hire new Ngetters to cover his / her debt. “

Carla remembers that she felt the pressure to attract new gamblers to social media, to share the links and promotional posts to advertise her bingo ring.

“It is more difficult to find participants,” he said. Eventually he left the work in November, after arriving where he could not attract new gamblers and to get commissions.

But his elderly sister May turn money, and he continues to work in an unlawful gambling area.

He described you spending five hours a day in gambling systems, which loses money to use in food.

As he spoke, his phone is consistent with messages from the phoneta leaves, which threshing as persistent mosquitoes. Owed them $ 18.

“If I can turn back, I wouldn’t have to participate in this. It is like trading. You force you to bring friends and family to the program, though you know that it is dangerous,” said Mayra.

Another way of poverty

Tandil, a small town, which agriculture in Buenos Aires in the province, historic teacher Eugenia Errguerena saw that UPTICK in the gambling began during the 19th epidem.

It is forced to distinguish them to stop the spread of the virus, and his students turn on continuously in digital spaces to meet.

“For children, there is no more separation between playing video games and installing the betting platform,” said Erruguerena. “Both works are part of the same endless consequences.”

He saw that his boys in his class probably washed. The Ombudsman’s interview found that 34 percent of the young boys are placed on 13 percent of the girls.

“The online casinos serve as a non-location where boys, especially, can include Experactivational ALter EGO,” said Enseguerena. Some of her students told her they had lost more than $ 500 in one bet, and sometimes they came to him, asking for money.

Professionals and critics have given the development of online betting in Argentina, long-term pricing and external debt.

In December 2023, President Milei took over, promising amazing steps to restore inflation and deduct the country due to economic recovery.

“Anarcho-Capitast” described, brought his “Chainaw” method to the bureaucracy, principles, and use of the public function, reducing three of all three.

Results are combined. Monthly inflation has dropped it down, and Argentina’s repairs grows stronger. Even the perfect home product (GDP) has shown promising signs.

But Military handling of Mei has increased. The number of Argentina under the poverty line arrived at more than 50 percent annually, and the unemployment continues to rise.

Errguerena explained that his disciples saw gambling online as an alternative, a way of breaking free from the poverty cycle. After all, they face limited opportunities in rural areas such as Tandil.

“Activities that can wish, such as workers as rural or village, feel as forcefully working because of the lowest income,” said Enseguerena.

“And children need money, like everyone else can cost $ 40, and to collect vegetable crays will not find you there.”

Visible appearance

But the credit bureau involved in the flow can follow teenagers in adulthood.

In the 2024-9,000 State of Argentinians, 15 to 29, approximately 40 percent agreed to gambling recently.

For those who give gambling during the study, the most active bracket was between 25 and 29: Over 26 percent said that they were currently gambling.

Martín Romero, professor at the University of Buenos Aires, took the study. It puts the growth in the internet, partly, in increasing the platforms.

This month, sports website became a great sponsor of Argentina football team in Atlético independence, the nature of its jerseys were surprised.

And two large soccer clubs are already counting gambling platforms between their sponsers: Plate River River is associated with the Codere bettop, and the BOO Junioro receives funding from Betsson.

“In recent years, we have seen a wonderful increase in the fierce advertising of betting platforms,” ​​said Romero.

“This approaches the support of large Argentina football groups, competitions, players, humble, and merchants as many children, youth.

He also identified that Argentina is not limited to the years of gambling, which makes the world attractive when companies want to increase their market.

“Causes of Europeans migrated because of strong rules can be easily stopped,” he said.

Legal Change

Romero hopes to change that. It was in the middle of the experts who have assisted the array that will require giometric assessment tools to retrieve Biometric assessment tools to protect children and youth.

The Bill also prioritized that gambling sites may advertise, more subtle for platform activities, and the financing of unauthorized access.

But while the Bill’s Bill passed in Chamber of Argentina of the Deputy, 54 percent of the votes, the law faces a higher rising fight.

The Association of Lottereres, casino and scanner of Argentina (Alea) and grow against the bill, and Milea promises to remove it, as part of her throw.

Under his administration, Argentina has made them a law of young people at the age of 13 to invest in the stock market.

Members of his team has revealed that controlling online gambling will set unnecessary boundaries on each person’s freedom.

“This is the responsibility of families, not a state,” Lilia Lemise, Stylish station Military and a Chamber of Pinies, said during November’s debate.

“The kingdom again, the State exceeded their limits when it comes to individual decisions, and our government is in.”

But Romero said this policy helped to give the parents ‘vision “that when teens put the bet, they took their first steps as investors’.

He also presented that, November, Milomi appointed Juan Bautista Ordistal, such as Child Government Secretary, youth and families. Ordovez boasts after gambling: Earlier acted as a COO COE, Internet betting location.

“I am not surprised that Military wants to appear,” Romero said.

But he added that the need for laws stressed. Based on his statistics, young people pesos for all the pesos are available from its parents daily attentment.
