Mobile Casinos in Colombia
Since online gambling in Colombia is limited to some monopolized sports betting, foreign sites are still the destinations of choice for most Colombian players with portable devices.
In terms of network operators, 60% of the market is held by Claro (subsidiary of Mexico’s America Movil), with Telefonica subsidary Movistar, and public-private partnership Tigo commanding a 25% and 12% market share respectively.
The country has a mobile penetration rate of about 104%. In terms of portable device penetration, Colombia has the highest rate in Latin America, with over a third of the population possessing one. The number is expected to exceed 40% in just two years.
The evident popularity of tablets and smartphones also translates into strong demand for mobile casinos, which demand is satisfied by foreign gambling operators.
