Colombia’s gambling regulator, Coljuegos, has authorized the MrYoker.co brand, operated by the company Global Vitxo S.A.S, to offer sports betting and online casino games in the country.
Headquartered in Medellín, Global Vitxo S.A.S becomes the latest operator to receive the green light from Coljuegos, which will allow it to offer live casino, sports betting, and slot games until 2031.
Coljuegos has stated that the online gambling sector is going through “one of its best moments” and added that, so far in 2026, online betting portals have contributed 253,224 million Colombian pesos to Coljuegos in exploitation rights.
MrYoker joins the list of companies already licensed in the country, such as Betano, Bwin, Stake, Betsson, Codere, and Luckia.
It should be noted that Colombia was the first country in Latin America to formally regulate online gambling, in 2016.
Recently, the country has also joined the crusade against prediction market platforms and has ordered the blocking of Polymarket. The measure follows an explicit instruction from Coljuegos, which requested that internet service providers (ISPs) restrict access to the portal for operating unlicensed betting and, specifically, for allowing bets on electoral events, a practice prohibited in Colombia under Law 643 of 2001, which only authorizes games such as casino, lottery, and sports betting.
