You moved to Colombia. You still want to bet on the game. Good news: it's 100% legal here. This guide walks you through everything — which platforms accept your passport, how to deposit pesos, and how to claim your welcome bonus. No Spanish required.
Colombia is one of the most regulated online gambling markets in Latin America. The government body Coljuegos (Empresa Industrial y Comercial del Estado) licenses and oversees all online betting operators in the country. If a platform has a Coljuegos license, it's legal, it's regulated, and your money is protected by Colombian law.
Every platform listed on BetGuide.co is fully licensed by Coljuegos. We don't list offshore or unlicensed sites — ever. You can verify any operator's license directly on the Coljuegos website.
Foreign nationals — including Americans, Europeans, and other expats — can legally bet on licensed Colombian platforms. The main variable is which form of ID the platform accepts for verification. More on that next.
This is where most expats get stuck. Different platforms accept different documents. Here's the breakdown:
Ranked by how accessible they are to foreigners. Bonus amounts are verified as of early 2026 — always check the platform for the latest offers.
Swedish-backed operator with 60+ years in the global gambling industry. The most expat-friendly option in Colombia — accepts passport registration and has strong English-language support. Acquired Colbet in 2020 and now operates as Betsson Colombia under Coljuegos license.
Backed by Rush Street Interactive, the same company behind BetRivers in the US. If you used BetRivers stateside, this is the same team. Strong live streaming, good American sports coverage, and an iOS/Android app. Requires a cédula — no passport-only registration.
The dominant player in the Colombian market. Sponsors Liga BetPlay (the national football league) and has the largest retail distribution network in the country. The app is best-in-class. However, registration typically requires a Colombian cédula, making it less accessible for most expats.
Spanish-owned operator and official Real Madrid sponsor. Strong presence across Latin America (Colombia, Mexico, Argentina). If you follow European or Mexican football, Codere has deep markets there. Requires cédula de extranjería — no passport-only option.
If you want live casino tables alongside your sports bets, Wplay is the strongest combo in Colombia. Good slot selection, live dealer games, and full sports coverage. Worth checking their current ID requirements as a foreigner before signing up.
Spanish-backed operator with deep roots in European football markets. If you follow La Liga, Premier League, or Champions League, Luckia has competitive odds on European matches. Cédula de extranjería likely required — verify on platform.
Colombian payment methods are probably nothing like what you're used to. Here's each one explained in American terms:
All platforms cover the major leagues, but some are stronger in specific areas:
Gambling should be entertainment, not a financial strategy. All Coljuegos-licensed platforms offer self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, and cooling-off periods. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling:
Set a budget before you bet. Never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, stop gambling. Every platform listed on this site allows you to set deposit limits and self-exclude directly from your account settings.
