The Senate of Chile has reinitiated proceedings to launch a new federal framework for gambling, following 2023’s inconclusive developments which saw key departments fail to reach terms on a bill to legislate new laws and market standards.
Chile’s Senate and National Congress have returned to duties following the summer recess. Both legislative offices are required to review the outstanding terms and articles needed to finalise the new Federal Gambling Bill (035/2022).
2023 had been designated as the year Chile would overhaul its existing regime, legalising online gambling and ending the monopoly rights of the three municipal businesses of Loteria Concepción, Polla Chilena (football pools), and Teletrak Chile (pari-mutuel horse racing).
