Novel coronavirus boosts online gambling in Latin America

The rapid growth of the online market in Colombia, reaching nearly $100 million, paved the way for the fast approval of licenses for live-dealer casino games and the government’s change of heart towards other internet-related gambling options.

The lockdowns imposed by the government boosted the growth of the online gambling market.

The stay-at-home mandate of the government trapped people in their homes, and online related entertainment were their only option. Sports betting and online casinos gained popularity in Latin America, and subscribers in many platforms surged during the prolonged lockdowns.

Land-based casinos in Colombia shut down doors to clients in March because of the threat of the novel coronavirus. The casinos were allowed to resume business following strict health and security protocols to prevent the spread of the deadly disease.

Recently, the Colombian government allowed the biosecurity guidelines to be followed by the gambling facilities. The country’s Ministry of Health released a resolution that outlines the policies to be followed by casinos and bingo halls. The casinos were mandated to adopt a coronavirus prevention plan.

The resolution allowed the local authorities to initiate the pilot programs to resume operations of their gambling facilities.
