Chile gambling laws for operators: illegal to offer
Online gambling has no licence in Chile: only Polla and Lotería de Concepción sell online lawfully. Foreign sites are ordered blocked through internet providers (Supreme Court, 30 Sep 2025; Subtel lists of 1 and 21 Sep 2026) and taxed with 19% IVA meanwhile. The licensing bill, Boletín 14838-03, is not law and has no urgency as of 23 October 2026.

Will Chile license online betting, and what applies to operators meanwhile?
Boletin 14838-03, the online betting bill, is a pending bill and not law. As of 23 October 2026 it is at the second-report stage of the Senate Economy Committee, marked "Sin urgencia"; the last suma urgency (6 May 2026) is "CADUCADA", and the Senate opened a further amendment window to 12:00 on 26 October 2026. Meanwhile there is no licence. Foreign sites are ordered blocked (Subtel sent six internet providers 42 URLs on 1 September 2026 and 37 domains on 21 September 2026) yet taxed: the SII charges 19% VAT, and 39 platforms had registered by 8 September 2026. Senators called blocking and taxing the same sites an "incoherencia".

Boletín 14838-03: online betting platforms bill
The bill is still in Senate consideration, so this record creates no current operator obligations or effective date. Operators should monitor the bill’s progress for any future requirements.
Source: 1Not yet in our report
Boletín 14838-03, the online betting bill (Mensaje of 7 March 2022), is a bill, not law. As of 23 October 2026 it is in its second constitutional stage in the Senate, at the second report of the Comisión de Economía, "Sin urgencia": the last Suma urgency (6 May 2026) is marked "CADUCADA". The Cámara sent it to the Senate on 12 December 2023 and the Senate approved it in general on 13 August 2025. The text approved in general would make the SCJ the regulator of online betting, with five-year licences, a 20% tax on gross income, a 2% contribution on sports betting and a 1% responsible-gambling rate; indicaciones filed since are proposals, and one (16 October 2026) would replace the bill with a ban. No source states a date for a vote.
Not yet in force: drafts, laws adopted without a start date, and sections of the law still to be commenced. An item moves to the timeline below on the day it takes effect.
Licence Types in Chile
3 licence types are listed for Chile; each says who issues it and what it covers.
| Licence | Regulator | Term | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casino operating permit (land-based only) | Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego (SCJ) | 15 years | Ley 19.995 arts. 3(e), 26; a permit never covers online games (art. 5). At most 24 casinos (art. 16). |
| Polla Chilena de Beneficencia and Lotería de Concepción | Own statutes and ministerial decrees (DL 1.298; Ley 18.568) | Not a licence | The only lawful online sellers: sports betting and number draws (Polla); lottery draws and online games (Lotería de Concepción). |
| General licence (pending bill, not law) | Superintendencia de Casinos, Apuestas y Juegos de Azar (the renamed SCJ, if the bill passes) | 5 years | Boletín 14838-03 arts. 10-19: a Chilean closed S.A., one .cl site, objects of bet authorised by the Superintendencia; a single six-month call after the regulation is issued. |
Gambling tax: 20% of GGR
- Online
- no gambling-specific tax, because no licence exists.
- Foreign providers of betting and casino services owe 19% IVA on everything they receive from customers in Chile (DL 825 art. 8 n) no. 2;
- SII Res.
- Ex.
- 69 of 2 June 2026), with back-payment for the last 36 tax periods; for platforms that do not register, the payment processor retains 19% on each transaction (Res.
- Ex.
- 94 of 15 July 2026).
- The SII says this is tax compliance, not a ruling on legality.
- Land-based casinos pay 20% of gross income (Ley 19.995 art. 59).
- Pending bill (Boletín 14838-03, not law): 1,000 UTM a year per licence (art. 44), 2% of sports-betting gross income (art. 45), 20% of gross income after VAT and provisional payments (art. 46), a 1% responsible-gambling rate less qualifying spending (art. 47), and a one-off 31% substitute tax on past unlicensed activity (transitory art. 4).
Year-1 cost of operating in Chile
No online licence or application route exists as of 23 October 2026, so no fee applies today. The figures below are from Boletín 14838-03 as approved in general by the Senate: a bill, not law. CLP at the October 2026 UTM of CLP 72,151.
| Line item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application deposit (pending bill) | 100 UTM (CLP 7,215,100) | Cash deposit with the application to fund authorisation and certification (art. 12 no. 2). |
| Annual levy per licence (pending bill) | 1k UTM (CLP 72,151,000) | Each general licence in operation, per calendar year or part-year (art. 44). Indicaciones to raise it to 10,000 UTM are proposals. |
| Share capital (pending bill) | 2k UTM Source2 | 1,000 UTM at incorporation and 1,000 UTM within 90 days of the grant; a Chilean closed S.A. (art. 11). |
| Transitory licence guarantee (pending bill) | 5k UTM (CLP 360,755,000) | Irrevocable on-demand guarantee, returned once the general licence and liquidity reserve are in place (transitory art. 2). |
| Revenue-based charges (pending bill) | 20% + 2% + 1% Source2 | 20% of gross income after VAT and provisional payments (art. 46); 2% of sports-betting gross income (art. 45); 1% responsible-gambling rate less qualifying spending (art. 47). |
| Substitute tax on past activity (pending bill) | 31% of gross income, last 36 tax periods Source2 | One-off, for applicants that served Chile without authorisation; floor 1,000 UTM per year of operation, up to three years (transitory art. 4). |
| IVA on foreign providers (in force) | 19% Source4 | On all consideration from customers in Chile (SII Res. Ex. 69); not a licence. |
3,100 UTM: share capital 2,000 UTM + deposit 100 UTM + first annual levy 1,000 UTM, for a new Chilean company on the general route. Leaves out the liquidity reserve (set by regulation), certification costs and the revenue-based taxes; on the transitory route the 5,000 UTM guarantee applies in addition.
Which foreign licences Chile accepts
Chile recognises none of these 8 foreign licences.
BlockedMalta (MGA) · United Kingdom (UKGC) · Curaçao (CGB) · Alderney (AGCC) · Kahnawake (KGCB) · Anjouan · Isle of Man (GSC) · Gibraltar (GRA)
No foreign licence is recognised in Chile. Sites licensed abroad sell to players in Chile from outside the country; the Supreme Court (30 Sep 2025) ordered six internet providers not to transmit or promote unauthorised games, and Subtel sends them lists of domains to block within 48 hours (1 and 21 Sep 2026). The same sites are taxed: 19% IVA (SII Res. Ex. 69).
Bonus rules: welcome bonuses restricted
No operator may lawfully offer online betting or casino bonuses in Chile except Polla and Lotería de Concepción, because no online licence exists. The consumer law requires every promotion to state its terms and duration. The pending bill would allow welcome bonuses on licensed platforms, recorded at once in the account and set out in written terms.
- Welcome bonus
- Restricted
- Lottery or number draws and horse races cannot be authorised as objects of bet under the pending bill
No player cooling-off period applies or is proposed. The 12-month rule in the pending bill bars groups that served Chile in the 12 months before applying; it is a rule for applicants, not players.
- Channels off-limits
- Television in hours protected for minors (CNTV fines upheld by the courts)
- Penalties
CNTV fines broadcasters 20 to 200 UTM (up to 1,000 UTM for national channels); it imposed 20 UTM (CLP 1,443,020) per case for betting spots in protected hours. Pending bill (not law): operating an unlicensed platform, presidio menor and a fine of 11 to 200 UTM (art. 40); promoting or advertising one for profit, presidio menor and a fine of 10 to 20 UTM (art. 42).
Pending bill (not law): a group that offered or advertised services in Chile, including through sponsorship, in the 12 months before applying must be refused a licence (art. 13 no. 9), and past unlicensed activity carries a one-off 31% substitute tax (transitory art. 4).
Related motions on footballers’ advertising contracts (Boletín 16471-29) and betting advertising at sports events (Boletín 14892-29) are "Sin urgencia" as of 23 October 2026.
| Date | Operator | Violation | Penalty | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2025 | Chilevisión (broadcaster) | Betting-platform spot broadcast in hours protected for minors; CNTV fine upheld by the Santiago Court of Appeals (rol 378-2024). | UTM 20 | Poder Judicial: rol 378-2024 (17 Jul 2025) |
| February 2025 | Chilevisión (broadcaster) | Betting-platform spot in protected hours; CNTV fine upheld (rol 376-2024). | UTM 20 | Poder Judicial: Corte de Apelaciones de Santiago, rol 376-2024 (12 Feb 2025) |

Advertising: banned or near-banned
Chile has no online gambling licence, so no foreign operator can advertise lawfully; only Polla and Lotería de Concepción sell online under their own laws. No statute regulates online-betting advertising as such: the CNTV fines betting spots in protected hours, and the Supreme Court ordered internet providers not to transmit or promote unauthorised games. The pending bill (not law) would allow advertising of licensed platforms only.
| Channel | Status | Vertical & Platform Split (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Google Search Ads | Banned | Google requires gambling advertisers to be licensed where they target, and Chile issues no online licence; only Polla and Lotería de Concepción sell online lawfully.910 |
| App Store Publishing | Banned | Store policies require local legality, and no online licence exists. The pending bill (not law) would make app distribution services stop downloads of unregistered platforms from Chile (art. 62).210 |
| Google/Apple App Store Ads | Banned | Real-money gambling apps of foreign operators cannot be published lawfully for Chile, so they cannot be promoted in the stores either.10 |
| Meta (FB/IG) | Banned | Meta asks gambling advertisers for a licence in the target country; Chile issues none for online gambling.10 |
| TV & Radio | Restricted | No statute bans it, but the CNTV fines betting spots shown in hours protected for minors (20 UTM each, upheld by the Santiago Court of Appeals). The cited rulings do not state the hours of the protected band. Radio has no rule.5611 |
| Sponsorships | Restricted | No statute addresses betting sponsorship. Motions on footballers’ advertising contracts (Boletín 16471-29) and on betting advertising at sports events (Boletín 14892-29) are pending with no urgency; under the pending bill, sponsorship in Chile counts as offering services there and bars a licence for 12 months.278 |
Channel rules for Chile reflect each platform's published policy and the sources numbered in each row (listed under Methodology & sources). Verify with the local regulator and your ad-platform account manager before launching.

Licensed operators: 0 online / 25 land-based casinos
As of 23 Oct 2026, 0 online / 25 land-based casinos are on the register in Chile. Size your entry against this base before committing capital. Check them yourself on the official SCJ register, which lists each licensee and its authorised domains.
Traps operators hit in Chile
Specific operational risks that have caught new entrants in this market. Each item is country-specific. Generic gambling-ops issues (KYC, RG tools) are not included unless they have a local twist.
Taxed is not licensed
Registering for IVA with the SII (Res. Ex. 69) is tax compliance only; the SII says it does not rule on legality. The same domains are on Subtel’s blocking lists, and the SCJ says operating here without a law that permits it is illegal.
Serving Chile now can bar a future licence
Under the pending bill (not law), the Superintendencia must refuse a group that offered or advertised services in Chile in the 12 months before applying, and an applicant that served Chile without authorisation owes a one-off 31% substitute tax on gross income from the last 36 tax periods, with a floor of 1,000 UTM per year.

Payment rails, not only domains
For platforms not registered for IVA, payment processors must retain 19% on each transaction (Res. Ex. 94, 15 July 2026). The bill would add a duty on payment firms and banks to block transactions to unregistered platforms.

Operator myths vs reality in Chile
Common assumptions about gambling licensing that turn out to be wrong in practice.
- MythA Malta or Curaçao licence lets us accept Chilean players.
- MythRegistering for IVA makes the operation lawful.
- MythWe can keep serving Chile and apply once the law passes.Reality
Under the pending bill (not law), a group that offered services in Chile in the 12 months before applying must be refused, and past unlicensed activity carries a one-off 31% substitute tax on gross income over 36 tax periods.

Compared on what our records hold for each country: whether online casino, betting, poker and lottery are licensed, state-run or banned, the licensing model, what the operator tax is levied on and its band, how most advertising channels are treated, and how foreign licences are treated.
