Chile Supreme Court orders internet providers to block online betting platforms
Chile’s Supreme Court ordered Claro, Entel, GTD, Movistar, WOM and VTR to block online betting platforms after granting a protection appeal brought by Lotería de Concepción, with Polla Chilena supporting the action. The ruling says online gambling is unlawful without express legal authorisation and that internet providers must not facilitate it; the decision was reached by a majority, with two dissenting votes.
The order requires named telecoms providers to block platforms and restates the legal limits on online gambling in Chile.
