"We have given the instruction to Coljuegos to block
Initially, TigoUne became the first internet operator to block unregulated gambling websites. Created in 2006 and owned by Grupo EPM, it is one of the most important Colombian telecommunications operators in the country.
Juan B. Pérez Hidalgo, president of Coljuegos, reported two weeks ago that the entity already notified Internet providers about the steps to follow, as they are responsible for restricting access to websites that do not comply with the regulations in force in Colombia.
