With the new agreement with
Colbet now in
place there are now four sites that are
authorised to offer online gaming in Colombia:
wplay.co, betplay.com.co, colbet.co and zamba.co.
In a statement, Head of Coljuegos Juan B. Pérez Hidalgo said: "With this
initiative we are seeking greater resources for the health of Colombians, the expansion of the games portfolio through innovative tools and in tune with the global trend towards greater use of new technologies in the world.”
Meanwhile, Coljuegos with the help of the National Police will continue to manage the blocking of
unauthorised web pages and promote the entry of more operators via legal measures, which will help increase resources for the health department, he said.
According to Coljuegos, the
licence with
Colbet will be for the duration of five years and
will generate US$3.7m for the government.
Colbet will run an online sportsbook powered by sports betting software provider
Sirplay.
