# Online gaming regulation and security in Chile and Mexico > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/online-gaming-regulation-and-security-in-chile-and-mexico > Updated: 2026-10-25T18:20:42.000Z. Sources: 19. Developments: 5. The online gaming landscape in Chile and Mexico is increasingly shaped by regulatory standards and the necessity for updated consumer guidance. Initial focus in Chile centered on the importance of risk management and the need for users to verify information regularly. As the situation evolved, the emphasis expanded to include broader regulatory transparency and payment security across both Mexico and Chile. In Mexico, legitimacy is governed by the Dirección General de Juegos y Sorteos (DGJyS) under the Secretaría de Gobernación (SEGOB), requiring valid licenses and Return to Player (RTP) audits. Security measures across these markets prioritize rigorous Know Your Customer (KYC) processes, identity verification, and the integration of diverse payment methods. Recent trends in the Chilean market show increased player focus on platform reliability and promotional value. Operators such as 1Win, Jugabet, Pin-Up, and Orobet have established a presence by offering localized features, including payments in Chilean pesos (CLP) and Spanish-language support. Recent developments highlight a fragmented regulatory landscape across Latin America, where no unified regional license exists. While Colombia utilizes Coljuegos and Peru relies on Mincetur, Argentina maintains decentralized provincial oversight, such as the Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (LOTBA) in CABA. In Chile, enforcement has intensified; in September 2026, the Undersecretariat of Telecommunications ordered the blocking of 42 gambling platform addresses following resolutions from the Superintendency of Casinos of Games. The Superintendency emphasized that commercial exploitation of online betting remains illegal in Chile until a formal regulatory framework is approved, noting that foreign licenses do not grant local legality. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-25: Online gambling regulation landscape in Latin America Online gambling regulation in Latin America is fragmented, with specific oversight in Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and Chile, where authorities have recently implemented platform blocks. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/online-gambling-regulation-landscape-in-latin-america ### 2026-10-22: Online betting risks and regulatory landscape in Chile Online betting carries technical and financial risks.
