You who read me, know that we have accompanied each other for more than 10 years and that I write many times going vulgar. Since I collaborate for this opinion column I have been on the side there and on the side here, after all it is what I think and I share it.

For this month of June, we, the operators, must start transmitting -according to Resolution No. 20221200013634 - under the new SCLM+ system that takes me back to the time of the implementation of the system that currently operates and that you They remember very well, since its development was riddled with threats by Coljuegos, appeals filed by the associations so that the observations that were channeled through them and that came from the operators would be taken into account ( as) as part of the day-to-day analysis of the operation, all led by the non grata Lina Zuluaga who, despite her total ignorance on the matter, wanted to impose a schedule that was not consistent with reality at all costs.

At this time, today May 30, 2023, Coljuegos does not have a president, it is headless without a person in charge when deciding on projects as important as the SCLM+; This past weekend, the same entity announced that it would be off the air for technical reasons, and this is due to the start -according to a schedule- of this new SCLM+ system, for which most of the providers are not certified before the impossibility of continuing with the technical tests due to lack of contact with the entity.

On the other hand, the project itself wants to recreate the backend environment of Online Gaming operators and make the SCLM transmission similar when generating reports and give Coljuegos an access door to supervise the operation; understanding that the transmission from a MET has never been designed to operate as a slave, which forces the intermediary -the Online provider- to translate, so to speak, and this is not so simple if, as the project intends, a SHA-1 that Coljuegos should receive and decrypt and so far the tests have not been 100% successful, which is almost like when a bank transaction is made, sometimes it happens and other times it is lost and there is no one to give a reason for where the money.

The modernization of all systems is important, even more so after the post-covid era that has promoted the compulsory nature of online systems whatever their application, this is a shouting truth of which the Games of Luck industry and Chance is not unaware.

What should prevail is, as always, the general interest over the individual, and this is where I ask Coljuegos, on behalf of all the localized games, to adjust the dates, which is legal and correct in the understanding that neither the entity nor us nor the intermediaries we are still prepared.

“It has not been decided by any means, it has been the circumstances of time and manner that have us here.”

Failure to do so would seriously jeopardize the national health plan and the finances of the operating companies, since they are going to pay a fixed rate due to the impossibility of complying with the project because in addition to the sanctions that the entity would take, they are owed add the extra costs of modifying the Smib's and the contracting of redundancy servers to not name other associated costs. Coljuegos, for its part, still does not have the infrastructure to receive, process and serve the data as expected, throwing all this effort to the ground, which at the moment would cost us a lot if it is about money.

The project itself has many annotations to be resolved, because it is one thing to write it and another very different is to make it a reality, and in this Cornazar and Fecoljuegos have been emphatic, not only showing the points to be corrected, but also contributing ideas to solve them but not They have found an echo due to the lack of processing by the managers in Coljuegos.

Let this be an invitation to all of us in the industry to take this new challenge forward, but not at the expense of us, the operators of localized Games. listening is wise.
