Coljuegos sends illegal gambling site-blocking orders directly to ISPs
Coljuegos will send internet service providers direct requests to block websites offering online gambling without paying the required exploitation fees, its president Marco Emilio Hincapié said. The new process follows Colombia’s 2025 Circular 017, which sets procedures for blocking unauthorised gambling sites. Hincapié said Coljuegos had issued about 26,600 blocking orders to date and expects the revised process to speed up action.
Direct requests change how Coljuegos seeks blocks, affecting internet providers and operators of unauthorised gambling sites.
