Codere Casino Argentina Review 2026: Licensed in CABA and Mendoza, Bonus and Withdrawals

Licence and legality: where you can play at Codere

The footer of codere.bet.ar says the site is run by Codere Online Argentina S.A. under a permit from LOTBA (Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, the Buenos Aires City lottery regulator) granted by dispositions DI-2021-238-GCABA-LOTBA and DI-2023-359-GCABA-LOTBA, and that its scope is limited to the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. In addition, Mendoza's Instituto Provincial de Juegos y Casinos (IPJyC) lists Codere's Mendoza site as an authorised platform. We read the footer on 24/09/2026 and have not yet checked the numbers against the official registers. [VERIFICAR números de licencia y entradas en el listado oficial de cada regulador] In practice that means two things:

• If you live in the City of Buenos Aires or in Mendoza, playing at Codere is legal for you and you have a provincial regulator to complain to if there is a problem with a withdrawal.
• If you live in any other province, including the Province of Buenos Aires, Codere is not authorised for you: its site cites no licence from IPLyC (the Buenos Aires Province lottery and casino regulator). The operator checks your address against your DNI (the Argentine national identity document) when you open the account and should reject the sign-up; if it lets you through by mistake, your province's regulator does not cover you.

We have not yet confirmed whether Codere holds a licence in any other province. [VERIFICAR] When we do, the list of provinces in the key facts table and the "Is Codere legal in my province?" box update automatically, because both read from the same database.

The company behind the brand is the Codere group, originally from Spain, which has run bingo halls and gaming venues in the Province of Buenos Aires for decades; those land-based venues are not the same as an online licence in the Province. [VERIFICAR razón social del licenciatario online] That matters: an operator with regulated physical assets in the country has more to lose from breaking the rules than a site that only exists in Curaçao. To understand how the provincial system works, the legal guide explains what each regulator does and what protections a licence gives you.

Welcome bonus: what to check before accepting it

Codere promotes a casino welcome offer, separate from its sports betting one. The numbers that decide whether it is worth it (maximum amount, percentage, wagering requirement, maximum bet while wagering, excluded games and days until expiry) are still to be read in the operator's terms. [VERIFICAR] The bonus box above this review is filled from our database and will show those values once we confirm them.

In the meantime, three rules for any Codere bonus:

1. Compare the wagering requirement, not the amount. A ARS 50,000 bonus with x40 wagering is worth less than a ARS 20,000 one with x20. The welcome bonus guide shows the maths.
2. The CABA and Mendoza offers can differ. LOTBA and IPJyC regulate promotions separately, and what is offered on one site may not exist on the other.
3. The sports bonus does not work in the casino, and vice versa. If you plan to play slots, activate the casino one.

Codere holds your balance in Argentine pesos, with no currency conversion. The deposit methods it lists are the usual ones in the licensed market: Mercado Pago, bank transfer by CBU or CVU (the Argentine bank and virtual account numbers) and debit card. [VERIFICAR lista exacta, depósito mínimo y si hay comisión por método]

What we do know for certain is what the regulations impose, not the operator:

| Item | Situation (data as of September 2026) | |---|---| | Account currency | Argentine pesos (ARS) | | Tax on deposits | National indirect tax withheld by the operator and paid to ARCA (the national tax agency); general rate of 5% on the net deposit [VERIFICAR alícuota vigente] | | Withholding on winnings | CABA: no known provincial withholding [VERIFICAR]; Mendoza: provincial withholding on winnings not confirmed [VERIFICAR] | | Account ownership | Withdrawals go to an account in your name; the operator rejects third-party CVU or CBU accounts | | Card withdrawals | Usually not available; withdrawals are made by transfer or e-wallet [VERIFICAR] |

In practice, this means that if you deposit ARS 10,000 you will probably be credited slightly less because of the national withholding. Do not treat this as an exact figure until we publish our test: the rates changed several times in 2025 and 2026, and there is a bill to raise the national rate to 10%. [VERIFICAR estado del proyecto]

The withdrawal time measured in hours, from the request to seeing the money in your account, is the figure we care about most, and we do not have it yet. [VERIFICAR] The peso casinos page explains what times are normal in the licensed market, so you have a reference in the meantime.

Codere's casino includes slots, roulette, blackjack, video poker and virtual table games from international providers. [VERIFICAR cantidad de títulos y lista de proveedores] What we will document in our test:

• The approximate number of slots and whether the big names are there (Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Evolution for live games).
• Whether each game shows its RTP (return to player) in its info panel, which is how you know how much a slot pays back over the long run. We do not make up percentages: if the operator does not show it, we say so.
• Whether there is a demo mode to try games without money. We also have a guide to free casino games for that.

If your game is blackjack or roulette, the online blackjack and online roulette guides explain which tables to look for at any licensed casino, including Codere.

Codere has a live casino section with roulette, blackjack and baccarat tables streamed from a studio. [VERIFICAR proveedor, si hay mesas con crupier en español y límites mínimos y máximos en pesos] In the live casino guide we compare the tables at licensed operators; Codere joins that comparison once we have measured the real minimum bet per table.

We have not yet confirmed whether Codere offers a native Android and iOS app in Argentina or works only as a responsive website. [VERIFICAR] In our test we will use a mid-range Android phone on 4G, the most common setup for an Argentine player, and time how long the lobby and a live table take to load. One important detail: apps from provincially licensed casinos are often downloaded from the operator's site and are not always on Google Play; only download from the official .bet.ar domain.

Codere offers live chat and email. [VERIFICAR horarios y si hay teléfono] Our method is the same in every review: one specific question by chat (for example, "what is the daily withdrawal limit to Mercado Pago?"), the exact time it was sent, the minutes until the first human reply and whether the answer was correct. The result, with a screenshot, goes here once we have it. [VERIFICAR]

Verdict in three lines

Codere is an operator with a provincial licence in the City of Buenos Aires and in Mendoza, with a .bet.ar domain and a balance in pesos. It comes from a group that runs land-based gaming venues in the country, which gives it a track record few online casinos have here. Its weak points are that the casino comes second to sports betting, and that we have not yet finished our deposit and withdrawal test. The score is provisional until we do.

If you live in CABA or Mendoza and want a licensed casino from a well-known brand, Codere is a reasonable option. If you live in the Province of Buenos Aires, Codere holds no licence for you. If you want the biggest game library or the most generous bonus, compare it with Betano and Betsson; in our provisional ranking, Betsson sits ahead of Codere.

Registration and identity verification

Registration follows the standard for provincially licensed operators: full name, DNI, date of birth, address, email and mobile number. Codere must check that you are over 18 and that you live in a province where it holds a licence; to do so it asks for a photo of your DNI and, in some cases, a selfie or proof of address. [VERIFICAR documentos exactos y tiempo de aprobación]

Since September 2026, in the City of Buenos Aires the operator must also check the public register of people in child-support arrears (deudores alimentarios) in real time and reject anyone listed. [VERIFICAR norma y aplicación en Codere] If you register from CABA and the system stops you at that step, that is usually the reason, not a site error.

Our test with a real account, with dated screenshots of every step, is still pending. Until we publish it, everything below about times and limits is what Codere states on its site or what the regulations require, not what we measured ourselves.

Security and responsible gambling

• Provincial licence and regulator: LOTBA in CABA and IPJyC in Mendoza, with the option of filing a formal complaint with the regulator if the operator does not respond. [VERIFICAR canal de reclamos de cada regulador]
• Mandatory identity verification: the DNI and address check are a hassle, but they ensure there is an identifiable party on the other side.
• Responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, self-exclusion and time-outs; licensed operators are required to offer them. [VERIFICAR qué límites ofrece Codere y si se pueden fijar desde el registro]
• Encryption: the site uses HTTPS; we check it on every visit.

If you feel gambling is getting out of hand, the responsible gambling page lists the helplines each regulator publishes.

Why we give it this score

The score comes from the site's methodology: the same rule for every operator, whether or not we have a commercial deal with it, using only facts we have on record. What we have not measured yet adds nothing. For Codere:

• Security and licence (9.0): Provincial licence declared by the operator (CABA and Mendoza), plus one point because it publishes the licence number and we checked it against its site footer. The missing point comes when we verify it on the regulator's register.
• Deposits and withdrawals (7.0): Points for a peso balance, Mercado Pago, bank transfer and a published minimum deposit. The withdrawal time has not been measured with a real account.
• Bonuses (5.0): x50 wagering on the bonus, above our x35 threshold.
• Games (6.5): Points for a live casino and an iOS app. We have not yet measured the catalogue and providers.
• Support (5.5): Points for Spanish-language support. The chat response time has not been measured.

The overall score, 7.0 out of 10, is the weighted average of those five using the methodology's weights, and it is calculated automatically. It is provisional: it rises as we confirm the missing facts with a real account.

The good and the bad, explained

The best thing about Codere is the combination of a provincial licence in CABA and in Mendoza, a peso balance and a brand that exists offline. The worst is that, as a casino player, you feel you have landed on a sports betting site: the promotions, the homepage and the app all push you towards football. And as with every licensed operator, if you live outside CABA or Mendoza, Codere is not an option today.

Alternatives to Codere

• Betano: licensed in CABA and the Province of Buenos Aires, with a broader casino library and native apps.
• Betsson: an international group licensed in CABA, the Province of Buenos Aires and Córdoba, with one of the largest game libraries in the market.
• bplay: an Argentine brand with provincial licences, useful if you want an operator present in more provinces. [VERIFICAR lista de provincias]
