What is ARS
ARS (Argentine Peso) is the national currency of Argentina, issued by the country's Central Bank. Peso accounts are offered by online casino operators that target the Latin American market. If you live in Argentina, you deposit and withdraw in the same currency you use in everyday life.
When an ARS account makes sense
An Argentine peso account makes sense if your bank operates in this currency, since it lets you avoid conversion on every transaction. The peso is an unstable currency with high inflation and regular devaluations, so keeping large sums in your casino balance is risky: its purchasing power may drop over the course of a gaming session.
If a casino does not support ARS, every deposit and withdrawal goes through an exchange rate. The spread between buy and sell rates eats into your winnings, and with a volatile peso the losses can be noticeable. Check the exchange rate and any hidden fees in the casino cashier before your first deposit.

FAQ
Can I open an ARS account if I'm not from Argentina?
Technically yes, but there is no point: you would still have to convert your currency into pesos when depositing and back again when withdrawing, losing on the exchange rate twice. An ARS account only makes sense for residents of Argentina.
How does peso volatility affect my winnings?
If the peso falls, the dollar value of your balance falls too. If you win 100 000 ARS, its purchasing power may have dropped by the time you withdraw, if some time has passed.
Which payment methods work with ARS?
Argentine cards, local e-wallets and bank transfers in pesos. The exact options depend on the casino, so check the list in the deposit section.
