This game has been in the news in recent months, because Coljuegos declared the tender on February 21, 2022 for the Baloto operation void, so there will be changes to this lottery and its management. The announcement was made by the entity in a statement in which it revealed details of the process that, it explained, will not be carried out through direct contracting.

In addition, it became known that Baloto Revancha will no longer be operated by IGT Juegos S.A.S, as it will not participate in the tender. Coljuegos clarified that transparency in the selection processes of the Baloto concessionaire is essential, since this lottery, one of the most important in Colombia, guarantees “the financing of the health of Colombians”, so it is necessary to continue with the “exploitation of the game to continue generating resources to the health sector and consolidate this game that is so important for the country”.

The president of Coljuegos, César Augusto Valencia Galiano, announced Resolution 36784 of 2021, which establishes a series of provisions to consolidate the commitment of gambling and gambling operators to responsible gambling.

According to the president, these regulations take actions in the area of promotion and prevention, for example, in terms of publicity and training, self-control actions and actions to support those affected.

Valencia Galiano said a few weeks ago that training should be carried out for employees, by operators, to help identify players who may present uncontrolled gaming behavior.

He also explained that complete and up-to-date information should also be available from specialized organizations that can provide support to players who require it, including treatment centers and health professionals, for which the operators will endeavor to maintain an active dialogue with the main stakeholders.

“This resolution is part of our responsible gaming strategy that proposes awareness of this sector, prevention, support for those affected, the commitment of operators, participation in spaces of interaction with players and integrity in betting,” the official concluded in a statement.
