Argentina mandates biometric age checks and ID verification for gambling

2024-12-06  Per Henrikson

The emphasis on IDV in Argentina mirrors global trends, with regulators turning to biometric and digital identity solutions. The legislation, which Gambling Industry News reports passed by a 139 to 36 vote, specifies the use of the national digital ID operated by RENAPER with face biometrics for identity and age verification. ID verification must be completed anew with each user visit, and gambling platforms are directed to protect the data they collect during the process in accordance with the national law on personal data. It also explicitly allows for the use of digital wallets to present ID and age data.
