Ten thousand websites and social media accounts that were providing illegal betting have been blocked by the gambling regulator of Colombia.
In Colombia, there are currently only 16 websites that are authorized to provide legal online betting. In 2024, those businesses paid around $104.5 million in license fees. All the money was transferred by the regulator to the health system of Colombia, which has been subsidized.
This licensee authority fee, which is 811 times the minimum wage in Colombia, is considered high.
Virtual casinos, bingo halls, and sports betting companies that had illegal rafles were one of the websites that were blocked in Colombia.
