Meridian Gaming has been granted an online gambling license through its Meridian Gaming Colombia SAS business and will operate in the country through the Meridianbet.com.co sports betting platform.
Coljuegos, the national gambling regulator, has now approved 15 online licenses in the country and said two more licenses could be issued before the end of the year.
Meridian joins other licensed sites, such as wplay.co, betplay.com.co, colbet.co, zamba.co, codere.com.co, mijugada.co, masgol.co, luckia.co, sportium.com.co, rushbet.co, aquijuego.co, apuestalo.co, betalfa.co and rivalo.co.
Last month, Coljuegos began a clamp down on illegal gambling activities in an effort to divert more tax funds to national health and social services.
Coljuegos president Juan B. Pérez Hidalgo said a total of “2,534 illegal elements of games of luck and chance” had been withdrawn so far this year.
