The administration of Juan B. has allowed to open the doors to industry in the country in several ways and plans to close with a flourish, leaving much work served on a silver platter to the next administration, and that is why they will focus mostly in incorporating online casino (live casino) and bets on virtual events to the current offer that includes the online license.
Well not only is something that has been planned by Coljuegos, but it is also a notion that worries the actors of the sector because they recognize the great opportunity that this would bring to the gambling industry.
Even Fecoljuegos presented an initiative to modify the regulation of online games contained in the agreement 04 of 2016.
"Regulating the live casino and betting on virtual events is undoubtedly an important advance for the industry, since it will allow this segment to become more competitive and contribute to the growth of the industry and the economy of the country, in truth not it is about regulating a gaming license only for the live casino, but to include this modality in the current offer so that authorized internet operators can offer a more complete catalog to their users ", says Evert Montero Cárdenas, president of Fecoljuegos .
It should be noted that the current legislation allows online casino games such as slots, bingo, roulette, blackjack, baccarat and poker. And with this ideology of expanding the offer of the game and not seeking to regulate another type of license, it would be a chess move because the tax charges would not increase anything that would alleviate at a minimum the weight that gambling entrepreneurs already have. It would continue at 15% of gross income as stipulated by this law.
This proposal at the moment, is being studied by the Board of Directors of Coljuegos. Associations such as Fecoljuegos, ensure that the potential of this market is equal to that of sports betting.
Even sports betting operators such as Wplay, are already looking to prepare for this market, who say they are coming to market with a different and novel game offer.
Well according to statements from its general manager, Julio Cesar Tamayo, most likely they will present Patagonia bingo video and different games such as slots, video poker and roulettes from Play'n GO, Join Games, Microgaming and WorldMatch. Besides the favorite game of the Colombians, the American roulette.
However, they recognize that as with sports betting, the most important challenge will continue to be "educating users about the different benefits of online casino and the multiple ways to win. Online bets are the future of gaming and one of our challenges will be to make part of the game revolution to each of our users. "Tamayo says.
This company that claims to be the largest contributor in contributions for the health of Colombians through Coljuegos. In fact, it has transferred more than 2.7 million dollars so far in 2018, registering more than 450,000 registered users on its platform, who have received close to 116 million dollars in prizes, proposes to continue promoting a responsible game culture, in its next and new offer of live casino because it has been a pillar of quality guarantee for the company.
With this the users could have the possibility of "choosing the games of which they wish to exclude themselves by categories, for example, video bingo, slots or roulette and they will not be able to use them until the specified time is reached." Explains Tamayo.
