Chile’s Supreme Court betting-site blocks remain vulnerable to circumvention
Online betting platforms continue operating despite telecommunications providers implementing blocks ordered by Chile’s Supreme Court, Chile Telcos president Alfie Ulloa said. He cited URL changes, VPNs and independent DNS services as ways to bypass restrictions; Undersecretary of Telecommunications Claudio Araya said network-level blocking was easy to evade and favoured a regulatory framework for online gaming.
The reported limits of blocking orders affect how authorities and providers can enforce restrictions on online betting platforms.
