Legal Summary

Chile does not have an open licensed market for online gambling. The SCJ states that commercial online betting platforms remain illegal and are outside its current supervisory remit. Gambling is exceptionally lawful only where a special law authorises it, such as for the national lotteries, horse racing and land-based casinos. Bill 14.838-03 remains in its second constitutional stage, so it does not create a current online-operator licensing route.

Market structure

Current online status

The SCJ states that commercial online-betting platforms are illegal in Chile. Until the pending legislation is enacted, it has no authority to regulate or supervise those platforms.

SCJ frequently asked questions
Market structure

What is legally authorised

Games of chance are illegal by default and may operate only under a specific law. The SCJ identifies Polla Chilena de Beneficencia, Lotería de Concepción, horse racing and authorised land-based casinos as statutory exceptions; these exceptions do not establish an open online-gambling market.

Legislative transition

Bill 14.838-03 on online-betting platforms remains in the second constitutional stage. Senate reporting in June 2026 described continued technical work with the Executive, so Atlas treats the proposal as pending legislation rather than a granted licence framework.

Why Atlas lists no online brands

There is no current public licence register of commercial online operators because the reviewed official position is that such platforms have no lawful licensing route. Zero listed brands is therefore a market finding, not missing operator research.

Jurisdiction-specific evidence

Operator status in Chile

No open commercial operator register

These are jurisdiction-specific records, not endorsements. Restricted, revoked and other non-active statuses remain visible when supported by an official source.

No commercial operator records are expected.

This jurisdiction does not operate an open online-gambling licensing market. The empty operator list reflects the prohibition, not unfinished operator research.
