Colombia Authorizes Pilot Programs to Reopen Casinos and Bingo Halls
As part of Colombia’s measures to combat the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, a Decree has been proposed, which allows, the operation of gambling halls of mayor districts, if they follow the pilot plan proposed.
The municipalities with low cases will be able to implement pilot plans and open doors to bingos and casinos following the measures stated in the decree published on July 28 by Ivan Duque, Colombia’s president.
The measures in these pilot plans relate to the yet to be approved biosecurity protocols issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, as well as the prohibition of alcoholic consumption in the establishments where the protocols are applied. The approval of this protocol will be mandatory.
The Decree states that “The mayors of municipalities and districts, in coordination with the Ministry of the Interior, may authorise the implementation of pilot plans in (i) bars and casinos to provide on-site service to the public -in person or at the table-, (ií) billiards, gambling and betting such as bingos and video game terminals, and (iii) sports events without crowding of spectators. Under no circumstances is the consumption of intoxicating beverages allowed in the places where the pilot plans are implemented.”
And continues “The mayors of the municipalities and districts in coordination with the Ministry of the Interior, may authorise the implementation of pilot plans in (i) commercial establishments and premises that provide food service, to provide on-site service to the public – in person or at the table -, (ii) marinas and nautical activities, (ji) gyms, (iv) cinemas and theatres; (v) sports events without crowds of spectators, (vi) theme parks and zoos, (vii) bars and casinos to provide on-site public service – either in person or at the table – and, (viii) billiards, gambling and betting games such as bingo and video game terminals, and (ixi) aesthetics, swimming pools, spa, sauna and Turkish, provided that the biosecurity protocols issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection are complied with at all times for the development of these activities.

Be #GiftSmart: Scratch the Idea of Gifting Scratch & Win Tickets to Kids
Â
BCLC reminds adults to gift responsibly this holiday season
With the holiday season in full swing, BCLC is reminding British Columbians to gift responsibly and scratch lottery products from their shopping lists for kids.
âScratch & Win tickets can make great stocking stuffers for the adults in your life, but theyâre not for kids,â said Ryan McCarthy, BCLCâs Director of Player Health. âThe research shows that children who have early encounters with gambling are four times more likely to develop riskier gambling behaviour as they grow up. While people are out shopping for those last-minute gifts, BCLC wants adults to be aware of the potential risks associated with gifting lottery products to children and to consider safer alternatives.â
While Scratch & Win tickets are among the most common ways kids can be introduced to gambling, children are increasingly exposed to various online forms, such as gambling streams.
âWith the convergence of gaming and gambling, youth are becoming more exposed to gambling content in online spaces like streaming sites, where creators are able to live-stream their own gambling, usually while playing online slots and instant games,â said Dr. Luke Clark, Director for Gambling Research at UBC. âOur research at the UBC Centre for Gambling shows that a higher frequency of watching online gambling streams is associated with a more positive attitude towards gambling and a high intention to gamble in the future.â
In B.C., it is illegal to sell lottery products to anyone under the age of 19 and BCLC encourages adults to have conversations with the kids in their lives about the risks associated with gambling.
âOpen and honest conversations are crucial when it comes to navigating childhood exposure to gambling,â said McCarthy, who shared the following tips to adults:
- Monitor for gambling-related lifestyle changes. For example, developing a positive attitude towards gambling or a preoccupation with video games or streaming sites.
- Be a positive role model. Exhibit safer gambling behaviour and talk about the risks.
- Limit exposure. Monitor kidsâ online activities and discourage engagement with gambling content. Explain how gambling is based on chance.
