Regulated casinos in Chile are challenging a recent tax agreement with online gambling platforms, requesting intervention from the Comptroller General’s Office. They argue the tax deal effectively “regularizes” illegal online casinos instead of pursuing legal action against them. Backed by legal counsel including former minister Luis Cordero, the casinos filed a formal appeal asserting the Comptroller's inaction is inappropriate. The core argument centers on the contradiction of simultaneously treating online casinos as criminal enterprises while also facilitating their taxation. The casinos believe the tax authority should have initiated legal proceedings rather than creating a pathway for revenue collection from illegal operators. They contend this approach undermines the rule of law and creates an unfair competitive landscape. The appeal requests a ruling on the legality of the tax authority’s decision.
