Coljuegos, Colombia’s gambling regulator, announced that, through concession contract C2261 of 2026, it has authorized the launch of the portal www.mryoker.co, a platform where users will be able to place sports bets and play online games legally.
According to the regulator, the online gaming sector is experiencing one of its strongest periods, driven by the industry development strategy implemented by the current administration.
With the addition of MrYoker, Colombia now has 15 authorized operators. The new portal belongs to Global Vitxo S.A.S and will initially offer live casino, online slots, and sports betting through 2031.
Based on submitted projections, the operator is expected to contribute close to COP 27.282 billion (USD 7.4 million) over the next five years through monopoly royalties and administrative fees, with those funds directed toward financing Colombia’s subsidized healthcare system.
The regulator also estimated that the sportsbook could generate revenue of nearly COP 2.83 trillion (USD 626 million) over the next five years.
Finally, Coljuegos urged the public to gamble responsibly and only through the 15 authorized websites, “as this is the only way to guarantee data protection, prize payouts, and, at the same time, contribute to the healthcare of Colombia’s most vulnerable citizens.”
The regulator highlighted that during 2026, online betting portals have already contributed COP 253.224 billion to Coljuegos through exploitation rights, and it expects those transfers to exceed COP 450 billion by the end of the year.
