The Asociación Chilena de Casinos y Juegos (ACCJ) trade body intensified calls for tougher regulation and enforcement measures targeting illegal gambling activities in its 2025 report, which was published on Monday.
The association’s stance follows mounting pressure across Chile’s regulated land-based casinos. The country’s land-based gross gaming revenue fell in 2025 to CLP509.8 billion ($597.5 million), down 4.5% year-on-year. Total tax collection also decreased by 4.7% to CLP214 million.
Chile was home to 25 operating casinos in 2025, with 22 licensed under Law 19.995 and three municipal venues undergoing regulatory transition.
Despite the stable number of establishments, the industry’s economic indicators revealed concerning trends. Visits to authorized casinos dropped by 7.2% year-on-year to 926,873.
