Colombia became the first country in Latin America to regulate online gaming last year. Therefore, it is immensely interesting that this forum is held again Colombia, both for its current context as for its broad market and the progress of the sector at national, regional and local level.

Colombia has become in recent years, one of the most interesting markets as an investment destination for its opportunities, its strategic location and its post-conflict scenario. With 48 million citizens, Colombia is the 2nd most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world.

Latin Americans spend more than 14 billion euros a year on gambling in all its forms, this represents a sector with strong growth potential in the region.
