- Source: Chilean video game content rating system
The Chilean video game content rating system (Spanish: "Calificación de videojuegos", colloquially "Ley de etiquetado de videojuegos"), is a set of decrees that regulate the video game rating for video games sold in Chile since 2018. Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil are the only countries in Latin America to officially adopt a video game content rating system other than the ESRB.
Classification
If the game has only just been submitted for rating, a label marked, "Mientras resuelve en definitiva el Consejo de Calificación Cinematográfica" ("While the Film Rating Council definitively resolving"), may appear.
Ratings Criteria
The agency in charge of classifying video games marketed in Chile is the Film Rating Council. According to the guide published by the Library of Congress, video games released in Chile do not need to be rated if it had already been pre-classified in its country of origin, upon approval by Chile's Cinematrographic Qualification Council.
Video game manufacturers and importers are only permitted by law to sell and lease video games that are not suitable for minors to those who present a photo ID. Violators are subject to fines as well as the confiscation of such video games.
