Argentina’s pioneering Misionbet online gambling site will be back online taking wagers next week.

On Tuesday, the Provincial Institute of Lottery and Casinos of the State Society (IPLyC) in the Argentine province of Misiones confirmed that its Misionbet gambling site would reopen to the public on Monday, January 15.

The state-sponsored Misionbet launched in 2015, offering sports betting, casino and poker games to the province’s 1.1m residents. However, the site was taken offline last May after a Buenos Aires prosecutor accused the site of overstepping its mandate by taking wagers from punters located outside its provincial borders.

In December, a Buenos Aires court ruled that the site could relaunch provided it employed geo-blocking technology to ensure its customer base consisted solely of punters residing within Misiones. Next week’s relaunch was confirmed by Héctor Rojas Decut, who was appointed as the new IPLyC president last month.
