Chilean lawmakers propose biometric checks for online betting platforms
Chilean lawmakers Marco Antonio Sulantay and Ximena Naranjo presented a bill that would require online betting platforms operating in Chile to use biometric registration to restrict access by minors. The proposal comes as a separate online gambling regulation bill remains in its second constitutional stage in the Senate; the tax authority has said its recent registration and tax rules do not determine whether platforms are legally authorised to operate.
If approved, the proposal would require online betting platforms to add biometric identification controls for users in Chile.
