Santiago appeals court gives telecoms five days to report betting-site blocks

The Santiago Court of Appeals has ordered Claro, Entel, GTD, Telefónica, WOM and VTR to report within five days whether they complied with the Supreme Court’s order to block online gambling sites. The Supreme Court found the named platforms unlawful without express legal authorisation; the case followed a petition by Lotería de Concepción, while an industry association’s president disputes the ruling’s legal basis.
