Colombia's territorial games contributed COP649.465bn ($177.3m) to subsidised healthcare in 2025, Coljuegos said. Transfers rose 5.9% from 2024, providing about COP36bn more for healthcare.
Chance transferred COP337.068bn to the subsidised system, an increase of 25% from 2022. Traditional lotteries contributed COP276.794bn and recorded the sector's highest relative growth, allocating a proportionally higher share of sales to healthcare. The Medellín, Boyacá and Bogotá lotteries together transferred COP136.287bn to territorial healthcare.
Chance, lotteries and Raspa&Listo paid COP1.68tn in prizes in 2025.
Coljuegos president Marco Emilio Hincapié said the resources grew 24% between 2022 and 2025, helping to improve access to healthcare for vulnerable people. Hincapié attributed the increase in transfers to efforts by the Consejo Nacional de Juegos de Suerte y Azar to strengthen the sector. He said work would continue in 2026 to promote legal gambling and stimulate the industry.
