They were ordered to stop these advertisements under warning of initiating legal action for considering them participants in the alleged commission of the crime established in article 301 bis of the National Penal Code.
In said regulations, it is warned that "anyone who exploits, manages, operates or in any way organizes, by himself or through third parties, any modality or system of capturing games of chance without having "the pertinent authorization issued by the competent jurisdictional authority."
