Bet365 in Colombia

We identified Colombia as a new betting Eldorado. The recently regulated market created opportunities both online and offline. New Colombian bookmakers appeared accompanied by international bookmakers like WilliamHill and Bwin among others. It was natural this market draw the attention of alert services like BetBurger, who now scan many Colombian bookmakers.

Bet365 is perhaps the most recognised bookmaker in the world and the most loved by bettors of all levels globally. Bet365 was very much active in Colombia, with a well planed advertising plan, for a number of years making it the most famous and preferable bookmaker in the country. This created the feeling to Colombian sport bettors that Bet365 is legal in the country. However, this is not the case any more. That was before legislation and regulation came.

Bet365 operates in many Latin American countries, but not in Colombia. Access to Bet365 from Colombia is blocked. It is advised that Colombian bettors avoid using VPN services or any other services of this type to access Bet365. They will be disappointed. Also mirror sites do not appear working effectively for Colombians, and proxy services are unreliable, the connection often breaks up and they are easily discovered by ISPs.

The Colombian market has the size that would lure a number of international bookmakers and we are sure this size is spotted by Bet365 strategists. We believe it is a matter of time before Bet365 settles in the country with all the relevant regulations to be able to offer its services. This would make Colombia an even more lucrative betting market for every smart bettor.

It worths mentioning that near by Brazil also regulated its market in a very friendly way towards smart bettors, as the country compels bookmakers to reduce their margins and offer competitive odds to the players. At the same time a number of agents operate in the country, both online and offline offering Bet365 odds with penny accounts. This is not the case in Colombia as far as we know.

For now, Colombian bettors should maximise their profits by using the alert services that cover the Colombian markets like BetBurger. And if anyone is looking access to odds from exchanges like Betfair and Pinnacle, he should be looking for an Orbit account, or an agent provided that this is legal in the country.
