The president of Coljuegos said that up to the eighth month of the year the entity collected US$8.7 million for operating rights and administrative expenses.
"With these resources, transfers have already been made for US$6.47 million, with which the subsidized health system is financed and with which it could serve more than 24,400 Colombians," added Pérez Hidalgo.
According to a press release, the official estimates that at the end of this year there will be 17 operators authorized to carry out online bets in Colombia due to the great interest of the private sector in this market.
