🙊 Chile🇨🇱: despite a court-ordered blocking measure, traffic to gambling platforms increased by 28% in one year

The data compiled by analysts at Similarweb show that traffic to the platforms analyzed continued to grow despite the Chilean Supreme Court ruling, which in September 2025 ordered virtually all gambling sites in the country to be blocked, with the exception of two state lotteries.

The analysis covered the websites of 17 operators and shows that the blocking measures have not prevented traffic to these platforms or user interest in them from increasing.

🤔 Number of visits: in August 2025, the platforms recorded 19.5 million visits. By August 2026, the figure had reached 24.9 million.

🤔 The number of active brands increased from 138 to 145, while search interest in those brands rose by 42%. Notable examples include Awintura and JetBet.

🤔 As blocking measures intensified, the use of alternative domains became more frequent.

🤔 In August 2026, the final month included in the analysis, the 17 operators subject to the ban accounted for 81% of traffic in the sample, while the authorized lotteries Lotería de Concepción and Polla Chilena de Beneficencia accounted for the remaining 19%.

🤔 The FIFA World Cup generated the highest traffic peak during the period, with 32.1 million visits. The following month, traffic fell to 24.9 million, yet remained 17% above the level recorded before the court ruling in September 2025.

The data show that, despite the court-ordered blocking measure, traffic to the monitored platforms increased during the period analyzed.
