Leading supplier launches Zamba.co in joint venture deal with Vicca Group
Wednesday 4th October, 2017 – GAMING1 has been the first international company to obtain a casino and sportsbook licence under Colombia’s new regulatory regime in a 50-50 share capital joint venture with local operator Vicca Group.
The result of the partnership is Zamba.co, which at launch is available on both mobile and desktop and offers an impressive selection of games that includes roulette, blackjack and slots.
The initial wave of titles is exclusively provided by GAMING1, with more certified providers to be added in the coming weeks.
Zamba.co is built on GAMING1’s flair for platform provision, with an approach that is highly attuned to meeting the requirements of local operators and regulatory environments.
Sylvain Boniver, GAMING1 CEO, said: “We are hugely proud to partner with Vicca Group in being awarded Colombia’s first joint online casino and sportsbook licence, and are sure that Zamba.co will prove a hit with players across the country.
“Colombia is setting the benchmark in Latin America, with its robust regulatory framework similar to those seen in the European market, and to be the first to launch a combined casino and sportsbook underlines the strength of our approach.”

GAMING1’s Director of Latin America, Victor Araneda, added: “Achieving this licence has been an exciting and rewarding process, and we appreciate the initiative and support of the regulator, Coljuegos, regarding the online legislation. We hope other regulators in the region will follow their lead.”
