Coljuegos collaborates with operators to combat illegal portals
This aimed to verify the complaints made by users.
Colombia’s gambling regulator, Coljuegos, has worked together with online betting operators to look into complaints made by users.
15 online gaming operators were brought together by Coljuegos to work together in order to verify the complaints received by users and look at ways of combating against illegal portals.
This is being undertaken, according to Coljuegos President Marco Emilio Hincapié, through detailed monitoring of requests made by users related to failures in the platforms and any problems encountered related to the payment of prizes.
The President has also mentioned that a technical table will be held with KIGGU, a cybersecurity company, to find ways of blocking the websites associated with the 1Win brand, which operates illegally in the country.
Hincapié said, “We are working with authorized portals to improve the performance of their platforms and to coordinate with the software houses of legal operators so that they do not sell web development to illegal brands.
“We also agreed to create an inter-institutional table with other entities such as the DIAN, Prosecutor’s Office, MinTic, Financial Superintendency, among others, to strengthen actions against portals that operate illegally.
“The monitoring tables with the operators will continue to be held periodically to guarantee the correct functioning of the portals and defend the rights of bettors.”
Last week, Coljuegos installed a committee to fight against illegal gambling, with authorities agreeing to carry out joint actions to combat organizations that are dedicated to illegal betting in the Department of Atlántico.
