Colombia’s National Council of Games of Luck and Chance (Consejo Nacional de Juegos de Suerte y Azar, or CNJSA) has approved new responsible gambling requirements for operators that sell lottery and chance games over the internet. Operators must adopt comprehensive responsible gambling policies, offer self-exclusion for a minimum of 30 days, provide an online test that lets players assess their own risk, appoint a qualified responsible gambling officer, and file reports twice a year.
The rules also tighten advertising restrictions and apply across the regulated categories of Lottery, Permanent Bets known as Chance, and the RASPA and LISTO instant games, all of which operate under Law 643 of 2001 and Decree Law 4144 of 2011. The new requirements take effect once they are published in the official gazette.
