Internet providers must implement notified DNS blocks within 48 hours and demonstrate compliance, with procedures covering verified mirror sites.
Betting platforms adopting new domains face potential further blocking if Subtel extends restrictions to additional domains validated by the SCJ.
The court challenges may affect how blocking orders apply to online betting operators in Chile.
The proposals would require operators to establish a local presence and face additional taxation under Chile’s planned online gambling framework.
Online betting platforms face VAT collection that SII says does not legitimise their activities, while deputies seek withdrawal.
Regulators must identify replacement betting domains and obtain SCJ validation before including them in Chile’s blocking process.
