This sort of legal loophole has allowed several operators, including <strong>Betway, Coolbet, Betsson, bet365, Betfair, bwin, Bodog, Micasino, 1xbet and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/reviews\/sportingbet-poker\">Sportingbet<\/a><\/strong>, to offer their services to Chileans.  <\/p>\n<p>The absence of online gambling regulations has also made it difficult for Chile\u2019s gambling authority, the <strong>Superintendency of Gambling Casinos<\/strong> (SCJ), to take enforcement action against unlicensed online gambling providers which have allegedly been engaging in unfair online competition. <\/p>\n<p>Polla Chilena referred this matter to the Supreme Court and the latter ruled, on a 5-0 vote, that online gambling should be considered \u201c<em>illegal<\/em>\u201d until the government establishes a regulatory framework for this specific form of gambling.<\/p>\n<p>In the September 14 judgment, the Supreme Court stated that the operations of unlicensed sites could jeopardize the government\u2019s ongoing efforts towards launching a regulated online gambling market. The Court asserted that online gambling is not allowed under Chile\u2019s legal system. Thus, the operations of online gambling sites in the country are deemed unlawful.<\/p>\n<h2>SC Ruling Dampens Govt. Efforts to Regulate Online Gambling<\/h2>\n<p>The Supreme Court decision represents another challenge for the government as it looks to regulate online gambling by the end of 2023. In June, the Economic Commission of the Chamber of Deputies approved <strong>Bill 035\/2022<\/strong>, paving the way for online gambling regulation. The Commission\u2019s proposed resolutions to establish the legal framework for online gambling operators have also been recently accepted by the government. <\/p>\n<p>While significant progress has been made towards regulating online gambling in Chile, some roadblocks must be addressed, including a long-standing dispute between the Ministry of Justice and the <strong>National Association of Professional Football<\/strong> (ANFP) on the issue of gambling sponsorships. <\/p>\n<p>The Ministry has ordered a ban on betting sponsorships, but the ANFP is challenging the measure, arguing that it cannot stop football clubs from entering commercial partnerships with gambling providers. The association maintains that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\">sports betting<\/a> is a legal activity and such a ban cannot be enforced until the government implements a new gambling framework. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Chile\u2019s Supreme Court has ordered the government to terminate access to online gambling sites Online
