PokerStars has withdrawn real-money online gambling services from the Colombian market after the local gaming regulator began enforcing its online blacklist.

On Friday, PokerStars emailed its Colombian customers to alert them that they would no longer be able to enjoy real-money poker play effective Monday (17) “due to local licensing requirements.” Stars insisted that free-to-play games were still accessible in Colombia and that service in other Latin American jurisdictions would remain unaffected.

The message claimed Stars “has been, and will continue to be, in positive and proactive discussions” with Colombian officials and the site hopes to resume real-money activity in Colombia “in the future.”

Stars reportedly took issue with local regulator Coljuegos’ unwillingness to allow its online poker licensees to share liquidity with other jurisdictions, as well as the requirement that licensees base their servers in Colombia.
