As promised/threatened, Colombia has begun blocking international online gambling sites not holding a local license.

Last October, Colombia became the first South American jurisdiction to approve national online gambling legislation, which was followed in March by the release of a list of 325 online gambling domains the country’s Coljuegos gaming regulator deemed to be serving Colombian punters without local approval.

This week, Finance Minister Mauricio Cárdenas used his personal Twitter account to announce that his ministry had instructed Coljuegos “to block cheating pages and betting evaders like play2wincasino.”

The Curacao-licensed Play2win’s domain is reportedly no longer accessible by users of TigoUne, the dominant local internet service provider. The country’s other ISPs are expected to follow suit in short order.
