Bill 035/2022 has been approved by the Economic Commission of Chile’s Chamber of Deputies, making progress on the regulation of an online gambling framework for the country.
Initially drafted in March 2022 by the Ministry of Finance, the legislation had been referred to the Economic Commission for an inspection of its tax framework to address concerns by policy stakeholders.
This week, the Bill received its approval from the Economic Commission as members voted nine versus three in favour of its passage “to continue the negotiation to regulate online gambling” as desired by Chile’s government.
The Commission’s approval sees the Ministry of Finance maintain its schedule to launch a liberalised online gambling regime by the end of 2023.
