GAMING1, Vicca Group win Colombia online gambling license

Colombia has issued its latest online gambling license to a joint venture of local casino operator Vicca Group and international online platform provider GAMING1.

This week, Colombian gaming regulator Coljuegos announced the awarding of online casino and sports betting licenses to the 50:50 partnership of Vicca and GAMING1, marking the first time this honor has been bestowed on an international firm.

GAMING1 is the online B2B division of Belgian casino operator Ardent Group (formerly Circus Group). Vicca Group operates 16 “high-end boutique casinos” in six Colombian cities and boasts a workforce of over 1,200 staffers.

The nation’s newest online gambling site will operate from the Zamba.co domain, which is currently taking preregistrations from customers. The site’s betting and casino products will also be available via mobile apps. For the moment, GAMING1 is providing all game content, but other providers’ titles are expected to be added shortly.
