The short answerYes, in some provinces, and only through the official channel
- With an official online channel: the Lotería de la Ciudad allows the quiniela through online channels it authorizes, and the Lotería de Río Negro has its platform La Rionegrina Online, with the Quiniela Tradicional.
- Only in licensed lottery shops, according to their documents: in Neuquén the quiniela is sold in official shops or sub-shops; the official rules of the Provincia de Buenos Aires quiniela mention the receipt ticket issued by the Official Agency.
- Online gambling lists: several provinces publish which sites they have authorized (casinos, betting or online games). A site that is not on your province's list is not authorized by that body.
- For the rest of the country we do not keep an official document about online gambling: ask your province's lottery. What applies to you depends on your province's law.

The official rules of the provincial quiniela, however, speak of the shop: the bet is registered by the Official Agency when it issues the receipt ticket, which is the only valid proof. In those documents we did not find an online quiniela of the Provincia's own.

Legal gambling in Neuquén (Instituto Provincial de Juegos de Azar del Neuquén) · ijan-neuquen.com · copy from 3 Nov 2026What about “online quiniela” sites that aren't on any list?
If a site is not on the official list of your province, your province's authority has not authorized it. Neuquén puts it this way: illegal gambling is any game the Institute has not authorized within the province.
Three authorities (Provincia de Buenos Aires, Córdoba and La Rioja) say legal sites end in .bet.ar. That ending is not enough by itself: each list belongs to its province, and the one that matters is the list of yours.
In the Provincia de Buenos Aires, the only valid proof of a quiniela bet is the receipt ticket from the Official Licensed Shop: a bet “taken” by message, without that ticket, gives you nothing to claim with.

On 2 digits and on the cabeza, in the Ciudad: 1 in 100 per bet; if it hits, with $ 100 you collect $ 7,000. On average, $ 70 comes back for every $ 100. Playing from your phone doesn't change that number: it only makes it easier to play more often.
If it gets out of handFree help and self-exclusion
If you play more than you meant to, or to win back what you lost, there are free helplines in each province and programs to ask not to be allowed to play.
QuestionsQuestions about the online quiniela
Is it legal to play the quiniela online?
It depends on the province: each one regulates gambling. In the official documents we keep, Ciudad de Buenos Aires and Río Negro have an online channel from their own lottery for the quiniela; in other provinces the quiniela is sold at licensed lottery shops. This page is not legal advice.
How do I know if an online quiniela site is authorized?
Go to the official website of the lottery or gambling authority of your province, find its list of authorized sites, and compare the address letter by letter. If the site is not on that list, that authority has not authorized it.
From what age can you play the quiniela?
From age 18. The official rules of the quiniela of the City and the Province of Buenos Aires prohibit anyone under 18 from playing, including through another person.
Does playing online change your chance of winning?
No. On 2 digits and on the cabeza, your chance is 1 in 100 per bet, at a licensed lottery shop or online. For every $ 100 played this way, an average of $ 70 comes back in prizes.
