Chile’s comptroller says casino regulator cannot oversee online gambling

Chile’s Comptroller General ruled that the Superintendence of Casinos of Gaming (SCJ) lacks authority to supervise online gambling operating in the country. The 29 October 2025 opinion said online gambling is outside the current legal framework, while the SCJ must report suspected illegal activity to prosecutors and bring court actions against unauthorised operations. It also said casino self-exclusion rules do not extend to online platforms.
