Subscribe NowTrack Colombia casino game approval requirements, including Coljuegos certification, RTP thresholds and 2026 technical updates, with Vixio.
If you're a casino game provider looking to supply licensed operators in Colombia, you need a clear view of what Coljuegos requires before your titles can go live. Colombia was Latin America's first comprehensively regulated online gambling market when it launched in 2016.
And while the framework is relatively mature, the technical approval process involves specific certification standards, approved testing labs, and RTP thresholds that differ from European and other Latin American markets.
These requirements are spread across multiple Coljuegos resolutions that are published in Spanish and actively being updated in 2026, which means suppliers and operators in or expanding to Colombia need to take note.
In this post, we’ll discuss what Colombia requires and how Vixio helps game providers track it in a structured, comparable format.

Colombia has several technical requirements for casino game approval:
The core regulatory framework sits under Acuerdo 8 de 2020, with the Technical Requirements Resolution of October 2022 and a live casino chapter added in June 2023.
There are several things that are changing for Colombia’s gambling environment in 2026.
Coljuegos has initiated a formal review of its Technical Requirements for internet-operated games through consultation and working groups with industry stakeholders. The updated framework is expected to roll out progressively throughout 2026.
Agreement 01 (May 2026) has already expanded the instant prize games framework to allow crash-style and multiplier-based mechanics, replacing a restrictive list that had limited the category to three named titles. Games must still meet RNG certification and RTP requirements.
On the tax side, a 16% consumption tax on GGR was introduced via Decree 0240 in March 2026, though Colombia's Constitutional Court has previously suspended similar measures, making the long-term picture uncertain. For game providers, operator economics directly influence content budgets and appetite for new titles.
Vixio is a unified regulatory change management platform that gives gambling operators and suppliers a structured way to navigate technical compliance across 50+ jurisdictions. Rather than piecing together requirements from regulator websites and legal guides, teams get module-level coverage that's monitored daily and updated as rules change.
The Technical Compliance Tool has supplier-specific modules for Game Platform, Casino RNG, Base Platform, and Information Security. Here's how it helps game providers:
While keeping up with Colombia’s technical requirements, it’s important to remember that expansion requires additional adaptation. As James Kilsby, Vixio's Chief Analyst, noted in the company's LatAm Outlook report, Latin American companies are all managing gambling regulations differently:
"LatAm countries are taking radically different approaches to regulation and taxation of online gambling, meaning operators, suppliers, investors and other stakeholders need to give careful consideration to both the risks and opportunities presented in new markets while staying alert to policy changes."
If you decide to expand beyond Colombia, Vixio is well-placed to help you do exactly that.

Coljuegos approves nine certification laboratories:
In Colombia, Slot games must meet a minimum theoretical RTP of 83%, enforced and audited by Coljuegos.
Yes. Coljuegos has initiated a formal review through industry working groups, and Agreement 01 (May 2026) has already expanded the range of permitted game metrics for instant prize and crash-style games while maintaining technical requirements.
