The agreement aims to combine international expertise and local industry knowledge to support Chile’s regulatory discussions
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) and the Asociación Chilena de Plataformas de Apuestas Online have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at supporting the development of effective and sustainable regulation for online betting in Chile.
The agreement combines IBIA’s international expertise in betting integrity with aPAL’s local market knowledge at a key moment for the Chilean industry, as discussions continue regarding the future regulatory framework for online betting and gaming in the country.
As part of the collaboration, both associations will work together to share information related to regulatory, political, and social developments affecting the sector, while also exchanging international experiences and best practices from well-established regulated markets.
Focus on sustainability, integrity, and consumer protection
The partnership also aims to promote regulatory approaches and industry standards that contribute to building a sustainable and efficient market model for Chile, balancing consumer protection, market sustainability, and sports integrity.
Carlos Baeza, lawyer and representative of the Asociación Chilena de Plataformas de Apuestas Online, emphasized the importance of the agreement for Chile’s regulatory process:
“Chile is at a crucial moment in the discussion on how to regulate an activity that already exists and requires a clear and modern framework. In this context, our partnership with IBIA provides valuable information, comparative evidence, and technical expertise that will be key to enriching the debate across multiple dimensions, from betting integrity and operational traceability to user protection and supervisory standards.”
Meanwhile, Khalid Ali highlighted the importance of designing effective regulatory models from the outset:
“As more countries move towards regulating online betting, there is growing recognition that it is essential to design the regulatory framework correctly from the beginning. Effective regulation should protect consumers, support integrity measures, and create a sustainable market environment.”
IBIA continues strengthening integrity across regulated markets worldwide
The International Betting Integrity Association works with operators, regulators, sports organizations, and policymakers across multiple jurisdictions to promote betting integrity and responsible market development.
Through its Global Monitoring and Alert Platform (Global MAP), IBIA monitors more than 1.5 million sporting events across over 80 sports, helping strengthen transparency and confidence in regulated sports betting markets. The association’s member operators generate more than US$300 billion in annual sports betting turnover.
The agreement with Asociación Chilena de Plataformas de Apuestas Online reflects the shared commitment of both organizations to supporting the development of modern and effective regulation in Chile through collaboration, expertise, and evidence-based policymaking.
