Rosario family court bars child-support debtor from gambling venues and platforms

Deputy Irací Hassler and other lawmakers presented a bill in Chile that would bar people listed in the National Register of Child Support Debtors from entering casinos. The proposal would also require authorised online betting platforms to suspend listed users’ accounts and wagers until they pay their debt or obtain a court-approved payment agreement; the bill must pass through Congress to become law.

Chile's Congress is considering a bill that would bar people listed in the National Register of Child Support Debtors from entering casinos, according to the proposal presented by deputy Irací Hassler and other lawmakers. Under the proposal, casino operating companies would have to check the register before allowing a person to enter and would have to deny access to anyone with a current listing. Authorised online betting platforms would have to suspend the accounts and betting operations of users who appear on the register.
