Colombia’s sixth online gambling license goes to Mijugada

Colombian punters will soon be welcoming their country’s sixth officially approved online gambling site, Mijugada.co.

On Wednesday, Colombia’s gambling regulatory agency Coljuegos announced that it had issued its latest online gambling license to Bogota-based Grupo Empresarial Geonline S.A.S., which will operate in Colombia’s regulated online market under the Mijugada brand.

The Mijugada.co website is currently only an ‘under construction’ splash page but does include a counter ticking down to the site’s official launch some 30 days from now.

The concession is valid for three years, and Coljuegos president Juan B. Pérez said the value of the contract was worth COP 3.7b (US $1.25m). Colombia issued its first online license in June and Pérez said the new online sector had contributed COP 3.76b to the regulator’s kitty through the end of November.
