Coljuegos said national gambling operations had transferred more than COP9.7tn to Colombia’s subsidised health system since 2012 as the regulator marked 15 years of activity. The authority said it would continue modernising regulation, using traceability technology and tackling unauthorised gambling.
Colombia’s national gambling operations have transferred more than COP9.7tn to the country’s subsidised health system since 2012, regulator Coljuegos said.
The regulator was created in 2011 and began administering, regulating and supervising the national gambling monopoly in 2012. It warns that unauthorised gambling diverts health funding and exposes people to fraud and unfair practices.
Coljuegos works with the national police, the prosecutor’s office, Gaula and regional and municipal authorities to tackle unauthorised premises-based gambling. It monitors websites for administrative blocking and sanctions content creators who conduct unauthorised raffles or prize draws.
The regulator has pledged to continue modernising regulation, adopting traceability technology and strengthening controls.
