Chile Supreme Court orders blocking of unauthorised online gambling sites
Chile’s Supreme Court ordered internet providers to immediately block online gambling platforms operating without legal authorisation, a ruling discussed by Manuel Zárate Campos, head of the Superintendency of Casinos’ legal division. Zárate said providers’ oversight falls to Subtel, while the Santiago Court of Appeals is responsible for ensuring compliance once the order is issued; the Chilean Congress is also considering an online gambling bill.
The order requires providers to block unauthorised gambling sites and assigns enforcement responsibilities to separate authorities.
