Online sports betting collections in Colombia up 84.24%

According to data from Colombia's regulator Coljuegos, collections linked to online sports betting rose 84.24% in the first eight months of 2026, reaching approximately 132.50 million euros. This money is part of the sector's contribution to the country's subsidized healthcare system.

Total collections from all games of chance supervised by Coljuegos amounted to approximately 273.73 million euros over the same period. This figure is 39.38% above the approximately 196.39 million euros recorded in the same period of 2025.

The agency linked most of the increase to online sports betting activity related to the men's football World Cup. It was noted that the data show the amounts collected by Coljuegos, not operators' gross gaming revenue or the total value of bets placed.

Land-based games brought Coljuegos approximately 78.67 million euros in eight months. This amount rose 12.25% in Colombian pesos, compared with approximately 70.09 million euros a year earlier. In national games, SuperAstro rose 4.88%, Baloto 13.17%, Baloto Revancha 36.37% and Miloto 28.98%. The comparison also noted the launch of the Keno game in 2026.
