Chile’s Subtel says court-ordered gambling site blocks are ineffective
Chile’s telecommunications subsecretary Claudio Araya said court-ordered blocks on online gambling sites are easy to circumvent and cannot automatically target mirror sites. He said telecoms can block specified domains only under judicial orders, and argued that regulating online betting platforms is needed to address the enforcement gap.
Operators and regulators face uncertainty over how illegal gambling sites can be identified and blocked under current powers.
