Chile

Online prohibited

There is no licence for private online casino or betting. In September 2025 the Supreme Court held that games of chance are unlawful without express legal authorisation, which online only Polla Chilena, Lotería de Concepción and Teletrak hold, and ordered telecom operators to block unlicensed betting sites. Land-based casinos are licensed by the Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego.
