Chile’s Supreme Court has ordered internet service providers to block illegal sports betting websites, upholding an appeal by the Concepción Lottery and reversing an April lower court ruling. The decision passed by 3-2 and requires providers to block sites requested by the lottery; the Casino and Gaming Association welcomed the ruling and urged Congress to advance online gambling regulation.
