The government of Chile has accepted the resolutions put forward by the Economic Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, needed to launch a regulated online gambling marketplace in 2023.
The Commission had been tasked with drafting legislative articles needed by the government and relevant authorities to define licensed and prohibited (criminal) online gambling activities.
A legislative update was required as online gambling and sports betting have no reference under the current framework of Chile’s current Gambling Law.
Fifteen new articles had been drafted by Economic Undersecretary Heidi Berner, with the assistance of Vivien Villagrán, the Superintendent of Gaming Casinos Chile (SCJ).
