Zamba Sister Sites 2026 ⭐️ Find the TOP 3 here!

A reader messaged me after returning from a family trip to Colombia with one question: "Can I keep playing on Zamba now that I'm home?" While she was away, she had opened an account, enjoyed the combination of football betting and live roulette, and wanted to know which British sites were related to it. It looked like a basic question about sister sites. What actually came up was a question about borders.

That is essentially the short answer behind zamba sister sites. Zamba is the online casino and sportsbook at zamba.co, and it is built for Colombia. It holds a concession contract from Coljuegos, the Colombian gambling regulator, but it does not hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. Its sister brands are based in Colombia and Spain, not in Britain. So if you live in the UK, the useful question is which licensed sites give you a similar blend of sports betting, slots and live games.

I checked everything below on 8 November 2026: the Zamba website and its terms, the official list of online operators published by Coljuegos and the public UK Gambling Commission register. Offers change often, so please read the most recent terms before you sign up at any site.

Kayleigh "Kaz" Bramley has been comparing UK bingo, casino and betting brands since 2013, keeping a notes app of payout times and verification snags. Her practical checks — not star ratings alone — shape the comparison below.

Is Zamba Licensed in the UK, and Which Zamba Is It?

No. I searched the public UK Gambling Commission register for "zamba", "zamba.co", "zambacasino", "E Total Gaming", "Vicca", "Gaming1" and "Orenes" on 8 November 2026. Every one of those searches returned "No results". Zamba is therefore not licensed to offer gambling to people in Great Britain.

Its licence is Colombian. The bottom section of zamba.co names E Total Gaming SAS as the company that runs the site and gives the concession contract number C1894, which runs from 13 October 2022 to 12 October 2027. The official Coljuegos list of authorised online operators, last updated on 30 October 2026, shows an identical entry: "E Total Gaming S.A.S. Zamba.co Contrato 1894". Zamba describes itself as a "Sitio web de juegos legal 100% Colombiano", a fully Colombian legal gaming website.

There may be some confusion about the name, so a clarification is useful. Zamba is not the same brand as Wazamba. Wazamba is a separate online casino with its own website, and I found no ownership link between the two. Wazamba does not appear on the UK register either. In this guide, Zamba always means zamba.co.

This comparison is for adults aged 18+. Take time to think. If gambling feels hard to control then stop now and get free, confidential help from GamCare (National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133) or use the self-help advice on BeGambleAware.

Who Runs Zamba, and What Are Its Sister Sites?

E Total Gaming SAS runs the site from Calle 90 in Bogotá. According to the About page, the company was founded in 2016 and belongs to the Vicca Group, a gaming business from Colombia. The legal notice also states that the company was entered in the Bogotá chamber of commerce on 29 November 2016. The technology behind zamba.co comes from RFranco Digital, whose name appears in the footer of the site.

Zamba.co has a particularly interesting background. When it launched in October 2017, trade press reported that Zamba.co was a 50-50 joint venture between Vicca Group and GAMING1, a Belgian gambling group. GAMING1 was described as the first international gambling company to receive a casino and sportsbook licence under the new Colombian rules. In January 2025, Yogonet reported that Grupo Orenes, a gambling operator from Spain, had signed an agreement to buy 51% of Zamba Colombia. There is no reference to GAMING1 on zamba.co today, and I could not confirm whether the Belgian group still holds a stake.

This gives Zamba two types of sister brands. First, there is VERSUS, the online betting and casino brand of Grupo Orenes in Spain. Its home page says that it is run by Versus Online, S.A. in Melilla and is authorised by the Spanish regulator, the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego. Second, there are the land-based casinos of the Vicca Group, which also use the Zamba name in Colombia. In December 2022, trade press reported the opening of a new Zamba casino in Barranquilla.

Brand	Company	Licence	Open to UK players?
Zamba (zamba.co)	E Total Gaming SAS, Vicca Group, with Grupo Orenes as majority buyer since 2025	Coljuegos concession contract C1894	Not licensed in Great Britain
VERSUS (versus.es)	Versus Online, S.A., Grupo Orenes	Spanish regulator (Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego)	Not licensed in Great Britain
Zamba land-based casinos	Vicca Group	Colombian venues	Venues in Colombia only

None of these brands appears on the UK register, and I am not linking to any of them. The Coljuegos list also shows that Zamba competes with brands such as Wplay, BetPlay, Betsson.co, Codere and Betano in Colombia, but those are rivals, not sister sites.

Why Look for an Alternative to Zamba?

The first reason is that Zamba is intended for people in Colombia. All its prices and bonuses are shown in Colombian pesos, its welcome offer applies "a nivel nacional", across Colombia, and its terms say that players who do not live in Colombia must send extra documents for verification. Until the account has been verified, it stays temporary and winnings cannot be paid out. If the check is not finished within a month, the registration is cancelled.

The second reason is protection. Since the site is not licensed in Great Britain, it does not have to follow British rules on age checks, affordability checks or advertising. It is also not part of GAMSTOP, so any self-exclusion you set up in the UK will not stop you from opening an account at Zamba. If a problem comes up, you cannot take a complaint to a British regulator.

The third reason is simply practical. Zamba has set up its payments and customer service for people in Colombia. The phone line is a Bogotá number, and the bonus terms mention cash deposits through Efecty, a Colombian payment network. Even if you could create an account, it would never feel like a local site.

The fourth reason is that you might simply want a different site with its own lobby. My top pick right now is Sherluck. It is run by a separate company and has its own terms, offers and account rules. Read them carefully before signing up and decide for yourself whether it suits you.

UK-Licensed Alternatives to Zamba Worth a Look

If you like the mix that Zamba offers, with football betting next to slots and live roulette, there are plenty of brands in Great Britain that do the same thing under a UK licence. I checked each account below on the public register on 8 November 2026.

Brand	Licence holder	UKGC account	Licensed for
LeoVegas	LeoVegas Gaming PLC	39198	Casino since 1 November 2014, betting since 29 April 2016
BetMGM	LeoVegas Gaming PLC	39198	Same licence as LeoVegas
Betfred	Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited	39544	Casino, bingo and betting since 1 November 2014
Sky Bet	SBG Sports Limited	67370	Betting since 6 October 2025

LeoVegas is the closest match if you liked Zamba's live casino. Its licence covers casino games, bingo and sports betting, and the company's head office is in Malta. I explain how its brands fit together in my guide to LeoVegas sister sites.

BetMGM runs on the same licence. When I searched the UK Gambling Commission register, the domain betmgm.co.uk came up under LeoVegas Gaming PLC, account 39198. If you would like a big sportsbook with a casino attached, have a look at my guide to BetMGM sister sites.

If you are after an old-school experience, Betfred could be the best choice. The company behind it has held its online licence since 1 November 2014, and that licence covers casino games, bingo and betting. To learn more about its history, start with my guide to Betfred sister sites.

Sky Bet is the sportsbook to choose if football comes first. Its licence is held by SBG Sports Limited in Malta, and I cover the wider family in my guide to Sky Bet sister sites.

Each of these brands is part of GAMSTOP, follows the 10 times wagering cap and must check your age before you play. That is the major difference from Zamba.

Zamba Welcome Offer and Bonus Terms Explained

On 8 November 2026, the principal Zamba welcome offer was called "DOBLE PROMO BIENVENIDA". New players who make a first deposit of at least COP 20,000 (Colombian pesos) and enter the code DOBLEPROMO receive two things: a 100% casino bonus up to COP 250,000 and 100% in free bets up to COP 50,000. The total prize is capped at COP 300,000. The offer runs from 17 March 2026 to 31 December 2026.

Generally speaking, the terms are easy to understand. The casino bonus must be wagered 10 times on the bonus amount within 7 days. Slots count 100% towards that, while roulette, live roulette, blackjack, baccarat and crash games count only 10%. Winnings from the bonus are capped at 100% of the bonus you received. The free bets are unlocked step by step, one for every COP 10,000 you bet on sport, and they can only be used on bets with total odds between 1.5 and 3.5. If you withdraw before you finish the wagering, the bonus and any winnings from it are cancelled.

Zamba also gives its customers regular promotions. On the day I visited, there was a weekend reload worth a 50% free bet up to COP 120,000, a live casino tournament on Evolution games with prizes worth COP 10,000,000 in total, and weekend slot races on Endorphina games.

On paper, 10 times on the bonus is consistent with the cap for licensed sites in Great Britain, which has limited wagering to 10 times the bonus since 19 January 2026. A £10 bonus at a licensed site therefore needs £100 of bets at most. However, the Zamba offer is paid in pesos and is meant for players in Colombia. That is why I would advise every player in the UK against it.

How I Compare These Sites

I run the same checks on every casino I review, and I do them in the same order.

First, the licence. I search the public UK Gambling Commission register for the company and the brand, and I note the account number, the type of licence and the date it started. If a site does not appear there, I find out which licence it really holds and tell you so.

Second, the terms. I examine the welcome offer, the general bonus rules and the withdrawal rules, and I look for caps on winnings, short deadlines and anything that would let the site keep your money. With Zamba, the rules for players outside Colombia decided the matter.

Third, the money. I check which payment methods work in both directions, how long withdrawals generally take and what daily, weekly and monthly limits apply.

Fourth, the safety tools. I look for deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and whether the site takes part in GAMSTOP.

Finally, I look at what other players have said. A few negative reviews are normal for a large casino. A pattern of unpaid winnings is not.

Games, Payments and Sports Betting at Zamba

Zamba offers both a casino and a sportsbook on one account. The sportsbook covers football, tennis, basketball, baseball, American football and e-sports, with live betting and boosted odds. The casino has slots, live roulette, blackjack, baccarat, game shows and crash games. During my visit, Zamba had games from Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Endorphina and Spribe, and the featured slot of the fortnight was Joker's Jewels.

Payments are set up for players based in Colombia, as the Efecty deposit codes in the bonus terms show, and the site offers an app download. I did not try a deposit or a withdrawal, because players outside Colombia have to pass extra checks before they can be paid.

The safety tools are basic but real. Zamba lets players exclude themselves for anything from one week to six months. During that time they cannot deposit or play, but they can still withdraw their real money balance.

For players in the UK, most of this is irrelevant, because the site is not licensed for you in the first place. Licensed brands in Great Britain must verify your age and identity before you play, not when you try to withdraw. Online slots are also restricted by a stake limit per spin: £2 for players aged 18 to 24 and £5 for everyone aged 25 and over.

Safer Gambling and Why the UK Licence Matters

A UK licence is more than a badge. It means the site must take part in GAMSTOP, let you set deposit limits and time-outs, verify your age before you play and answer to a British regulator if you have a complaint. A Colombian site like Zamba answers to Coljuegos, which regulates gambling in Colombia and protects players there, not in Britain.

Your gambling budget should also cover every account you hold. If your monthly allowance is £30 and you set a £30 deposit limit on three different sites, you have really given yourself £90 of room, not £30. Decide on one overall amount first and then split it between sites if you need to.

If you want a break from every licensed site at once, GAMSTOP lets you exclude yourself from all online gambling businesses licensed in Great Britain in one step. It cannot block sites licensed abroad, which is one more reason to stay with licensed brands. If you are no longer enjoying gambling, help is available. GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, free and confidential, 24 hours a day. The BeGambleAware website also still has self-help advice. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never think of gambling as a way to make money.

My Verdict: Are Zamba Sister Sites Worth It?

Not for UK players. Zamba is a legal, regulated site for Colombian players, run by E Total Gaming SAS under Coljuegos contract C1894, but it does not appear on the UK Gambling Commission register. Its sister brands, VERSUS in Spain and the land-based Zamba casinos of the Vicca Group, are not licensed in Great Britain either. And although Wazamba and Zamba sound similar, they are two separate brands.

The welcome offer looks fair, with wagering of 10 times on the bonus, but it is paid in pesos and is meant for players in Colombia. If you are interested in football betting, slots and live games all at one site, consider a UK-licensed brand such as LeoVegas, BetMGM, Betfred or Sky Bet instead. Whatever you pick, check the licence on the register, read the full offer terms and keep an eye on your total spend across every site.
