Colombian influencer Stiven Tangarife Caicedo, known on social media as Mr. Stiven and with more than 5.4 million followers on Instagram, faces charges before Colombia's Public Prosecutor's Office for promoting an unauthorized online betting platform.
Promotion of Unlicensed Platform
The complaint alleges that the content creator actively promoted kkbrio.com, a betting site that lacks authorization from Coljuegos, Colombia's gaming regulatory body. The posts in question date from early June and included videos, direct links, and specific recommendations for games such as Fortune Gems500.
In his posts, the influencer allegedly assured his followers that it was easy to earn profits through the platform, encouraging its use among his large audience.
Charges and Legal Process
The complaint includes accusations of unlawful exercise of state monopoly activities, incitement to commit crimes, and possible illicit enrichment. It is now up to the Public Prosecutor's Office to determine whether to open a formal criminal investigation against the influencer.
To date, Mr. Stiven has not issued any public statements about the case. These types of complaints reflect the growing regulatory challenge in Latin America regarding the promotion of illegal betting by figures with significant social media reach.
