Colombia approves esports recognition bill, pending presidential sanction
Colombia’s Congress approved a bill recognising esports as a sporting discipline, and it now awaits presidential sanction, Coljuegos said. The regulator said the change could allow the 14 online gaming operators it oversees to expand sports-related betting; online games recorded more than COP4.6tn in bets from January to March 2025.
The bill’s final status affects the potential sports-betting offer of 14 online operators in Colombia.
