At a global level, the gambling industry is highly valued and even protected by the amount of money it contributes to the GDP of the different countries, however, Latin America presents a variation in terms of this economic model, specifically in regulatory and financial matters. tax rates, because while the regulation of the sector in European countries has advanced enormously in recent years.

The changes in the Latin American region have been occurring much more slowly independently of the fact that many countries have managed to adapt legality to new forms of play.

In such a way that Latin America can be a reflection of any situation that we wish to analyze, because there are countries with a specific and clear regulation for the sector, but also countries without any legislation on the matter where no effort is made to prepare legally for a growth, and finally also countries in which online gambling is still prohibited, without wanting to transcend in the understanding that the latter is in a global boom allowing generating a huge amount of resources for different governments.

The latter has only achieved that in a large part of the region online casinos move in the legal vacuum plane.

Precisely because players begin to demand from the market this type of gambling platforms, with simple facts such as access without any problem to Internet gambling sites in other countries or that are not authorized by means of tools such as the VPN, which change the IP address of the system (be it a computer, smartphone or tablet) allowing you to access any site by passing as if you were in another country.

This leads to the countries where these forms of gambling continue to be illegal, stop receiving the income or benefits that would correspond to them if they had legislation in accordance, which would also provide more guarantees and security to bettors or players.

A simple argument to give greater validity to this situation is that players from countries like Colombia, Peru, Mexico or Argentina spend around 15,000 million euros per year in betting

On the other hand, Colombia continues to be an example in regulatory frameworks for these countries that begin a new journey in the legalization of online gambling, because our country is recognized worldwide for regulating the activity with the same precision and seriousness so as not to be left behind. regulatory and regulatory frameworks of European countries.

Finally, this is an industry that should be taken into account by any government in a positive way, since having a well-regulated and legalized gambling industry is something extremely beneficial for any country, since it is not only an important and extremely attractive source of income , but it helps to give guarantees to the players to avoid the proliferation of scams, and submerged markets of illegal bets that mostly nourish only the criminal networks and even drug trafficking of each country.
