Colombia's gambling regulator Coljuegos published an updated list of unauthorised gambling websites on October 30, 2026, with 69,214 domains, 3,773 more than its September 30 list. Almost all of the new entries use the .bet or .casino endings, and several contain the names of brands licensed in Colombia or operating elsewhere.

Overview

  • Coljuegos posted a file of 69,214 web domains on October 30, 2026, on the document page of its illegal operations control unit.
  • Comparing it with the September 30 file (65,441 domains) shows 3,773 new domains and none removed.
  • Of the new domains, 2,670 end in .bet and 1,024 in .casino, together 97.9% of the October additions.
  • The October addition is larger than the July, August and September updates, which added about 3,260 domains each, according to the totals in the regulator's file names.
  • New entries include domains containing the names of Colombian-licensed brands BetPlay and Rushbet, and country-specific variants of international brands such as Betano and 1xBet.

Colombia's gambling regulator, Coljuegos, has added 3,773 web domains to its published list of unauthorised gambling websites, bringing the list to 69,214 entries.

The regulator posted the updated file, titled "Publicación_dominios_web_30_10_2026_69214", on October 30, 2026, on the document page of its Gerencia de Control a las Operaciones Ilegales, the unit that handles illegal gambling operations. The previous list, dated September 30, 2026, contained 65,441 domains.

AskSpinner compared the two files line by line. Every domain on the September list is still on the October list, and 3,773 domains appear for the first time.

Almost all new entries use .bet or .casino

Of the 3,773 new domains, 2,670 end in .bet and 1,024 end in .casino, which together account for 97.9% of the October additions. Thirty use .com and 12 use Colombia's .co country domain, including .com.co.

The pattern differs from the list as a whole. In the September file, .casino (19,320 domains) and .bet (18,832) were the most common endings, followed by .com (12,666), .poker (2,278) and .win (1,854).

Many of the new .bet and .casino domains are numbered variants of the same name, such as long runs of addresses that differ only by a number. Others include the strings "777" (211 domains) and "pg" (130).

Domains using licensed and international brand names

Some of the new entries contain the names of brands that hold Colombian licences. They include rushbet.me, which uses the Rushbet name operated in Colombia by Rush Street Interactive, and bettplay.com.co, betplay-casino.bet, betplaycasino.bet and betplays.bet, which use variations of the BetPlay name.

Other additions carry the names of international brands with country markers, such as ar-betano.bet, betanoargentina.casino and 1xbet-malaysia.net, as well as betway-sports.bet and betsson-sports.bet. The list itself does not say who operates each domain or why it was added.

Largest monthly addition since at least July

Coljuegos has posted the list roughly once a month, with the total number of domains written in each file name. The files show 55,658 domains on July 1, 58,916 on July 29, 62,174 on August 31 and 65,441 on September 30. That means the July, August and September updates each added between 3,258 and 3,267 domains, while the October update added 3,773.

Earlier files on the same page put the total at 15,321 websites in May 2024 and 26,212 in May 2025.

The regulator also publishes separate files listing social media profiles it considers to be promoting illegal gambling. The most recent profile file on the page is dated August 31, 2026; no profile file was posted with the October domain list.

The October list was published 10 days after Coljuegos announced the seizure of 397 illegal gambling items in Popayán, an operation publicised after Jaime Vives Pinedo became the regulator's president in early October (397 items seized in a single Popayán operation). Colombia's government has separately proposed a 19% VAT on online gambling deposits in its economic rescue bill (Colombia's rescue bill and online gambling VAT). Elsewhere in the region, Chile's telecoms regulator has ordered DNS blocking of 143 online gambling sites (Chile's Subtel blocking order).
