- Colombia’s gaming regulator, Coljuegos, is proposing new regulations on online gaming bonuses after VAT was implemented on online gaming transactions in February 2025.
- Operators began reimbursing players for VAT through increased bonuses, causing bonuses to rise from 0.3% to 3.4% of total bets and creating financial distortions in the market.
- The draft resolution aims to limit bonus payouts to protect public health funds and ensure fair competition, with specific caps based on VAT status and operator history.
- Public consultation on the proposed rules is open until November 4, 2025, inviting feedback from operators and the public.
- The move seeks to balance operator incentives with public interest and maintain the financial integrity of Colombia’s regulated gaming sector.
