Colombia has issued its eighth online gambling license to Spanish gaming operator Luckia, while another online licensee got some unwanted attention via a tennis player who should have known better.

On Thursday, Colombia’s Coljuegos gaming regulatory body announced that Spanish operator Luckia’s local subsidiary Luckia Colombia S.A.S. had been awarded the eighth online gambling license since the country liberalized its online market in late-2016.

Luckia already has a retail sports betting operation in Colombia via a collaboration with the National Corporation of Entrepreneurs of Luck and Chance Games (Cornazar). The new Luckia.co website has been approved to offer both sports betting and ‘luck and chance’ games, although its website currently displays only a splash screen featuring the Spanish phrases ‘stay close’ and ‘soon’.

Luckia’s new online license is valid for five years and cost the company COP 11.2b (US$3.9m), making it the priciest of all eight Coljuegos’ online deals to date. The next highest license fee was the COP 10.9b paid by local operator Colbet last October.
