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, Mexico and Brazil are the only countries in South America to officially adopt a video game content rating system other than the ESRB.

Classification

The Resolution 5,733 exempted, September, 2014 defines a table of equivalences with other classification systems for homologation purposes: ESRB and PEGI. Decree 51, February, 2017 indicates in its Article 4° a set of acronyms and their description.

According to the guide published by the Library of Congress,

Шаблон:BlockquoteThis means the manufacturers and distributors are required to include the whole label in video games sold in physical format; this does not mention the games distributed in digital format.

Rating agency

The agency in charge of classifying video games marketed in Chile is the Film Rating Council, which simultaneously maintains its function of rating the films exhibited in Chile. The rating consists of reviewing video games and determining the age of those who can buy or rent them.

Critics

Jorge Maltrain Macho, from the TodoJuegos magazine, criticized the implementation of this video game content rating system, citing it as "good intention, terrible execution", and "conceived with totally debatable premises", in particular, due to its disagreement between Chilean regulations and their application criteria, and the classifications of the ESRB.
