Colombian regulator Coljuegos has initiated a responsible gambling initiative titled ‘Take Control, Play Confidently’ to combat gambling-related issues.
The launch of this campaign aligns with the introduction of new regulations in the Latin American market, setting guidelines for operators to adhere to.
A key element of this initiative is the creation of a website where players can assess their risk factors through a dedicated test and find a directory of organizations offering mental health support and assistance.
Additionally, a self-exclusion system for new games has been implemented through the recent resolution.
Marco Emilio Hincapié, the president of Coljuegos, stated: “Our mission involves promoting responsible gaming. This campaign aims to help individuals identify risk factors that could indicate loss of control during gambling activities.
“We seek to involve operators in safeguarding players. Our objectives include preventing mental health issues related to gambling, while educating and increasing awareness among the public about Coljuegos’ preventive actions.”
Last month, Betano joined the Colombian market, becoming the 16th operator to launch, alongside others such as Betplay, Rush Street Interactive’s Rushbet, Entain-owned bwin, and Codere.
