As expected the big poker room will no longer operate in Colombia, this is due to the arrival of the new regulation of gambling in this country.

The regulator of the games in the country "Coljuegos", command to restrict access to about 200 online gambling sites with a view to regulate access and set tax rates. To my understanding this will end the game in this country, because of the experiences in Spain and given that the volume of players in that country is not so high, the safest thing to happen is that lso regulars of this discipline migrate To neighboring countries such as Peru and Ecuador and in some cases try to play from the border with Venezuela using Internet connections in this country.

Sorry to hear it. I would love poker to be a worldwide 'get out of poverty' method for all people if they are disciplined enough.

Can you blame the government of these countries though? Really can you? Stars makes "Billions of've rake and buy-ins" and for the longest time they've been getting away with not having to pay the "Governments of countries", thus the government, wants their piece of the pie, Is that so wrong to ask for?

Yet I'm sorry to hear about It as Stars Is still 1 of the best sites, even though, they've cut the shit out of bonuses/vip rewards programs and now satty's

Information about the blocking began to be sent back in March, so the operators had enough time to obtain a new license. At the moment, it is reported that only one company Aquila Global Group was able to obtain permission to provide its services in Colombia.
