Hi, I'd like to reopen this post to ask if anyone knows anything about payment methods in Chile. I know the Chilean government imposed restrictions, but they announced an update. Does anyone know anything about it?

Hello! I don’t know all the details, but I think I understand what your question relates to. I looked into it with my ChatGPT, and here’s what we managed to find:

On 12 August 2026, Chile’s financial regulator, the CMF, published a proposal to update the rules for payment service providers. The consultation period ended on 9 September. According to a statement from the CMF’s president reported on 4 September, the proposed restrictions would cover both payments to and payouts from gambling platforms that aren’t authorised in Chile, if approved in that form. You can find the official CMF announcement here and the explanation about gambling payments here.

Separately, Chile has continued blocking access to gambling websites. On 21 September, Subtel announced the blocking of another 37 domains. That concerns access to the sites themselves, though, rather than payment methods. Here’s the official announcement.

So, from what we found, the direction seems to be towards tighter restrictions. We couldn’t confirm whether the payment proposal has since been formally adopted, and we didn’t find confirmation that payment restrictions have been lifted or relaxed. I wouldn’t want to present a proposal as an active rule, but hopefully this helps explain how things have been developing.
