The Third Constitutional Chamber of Chile’s Supreme Court has ruled that all online gambling in the country is illegal unless expressly authorized.
The vote, which took place on Tuesday, sided with an injunction brought forward by lottery company Loteria de Concepción SA by three votes to two, which will now force internet providers to block access to illegal gambling sites in the country.
Loteria de Concepcion SA had argued that providers were either unresponsive or refusing to block these illegal sites.
This leaves Concepción Lottery, the lottery company Polla Chilena de Beneficencia, racetracks, and authorized casinos as the only legal gambling entities in the country.
