Colombia has issued its 15th online gambling license to a local subsidiary of Meridian Gaming.

On Wednesday, Colombia’s Coljuegos gaming regulatory body announced that it had awarded its latest online gambling license to Meridian Gaming Colombia SAS, which plans to offer sports betting via its Meridianbet.com.co domain (which currently features only a password log-in).

The Malta-based Meridian operates both B2C and B2B operations in Europe and began expanding into South America, Africa and Asia a few years ago. In addition to online operations, Meridian also runs over 600 retail betting points of sale across the globe via its Bet Shop Manager product.

This is the third license that Colombia has issued this month, following the diplomas awarded to Alfabet and Teclino, and Coljuegos president Juan Perez Hidalgo restated his prediction that the market will have 17 approved online licensees before the year is through.
