Peru: gambling regulation and licensing

Peru licenses online casino and online sports betting under Law 31557 of 2022, amended by Law 31806 of 2023 and implemented by Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR. The regime took effect in February 2024. The regulator is the Directorate General of Casino Games and Slot Machines (DGJCMT) of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR), which grants separate six-year authorisations for remote gaming and for remote sports betting. Foreign companies can apply without a Peruvian branch. Each platform and game must also be homologated after testing by one of eight authorised laboratories, and platform homologations last two years. Operators post a guarantee of at least 600 UIT, send daily data to MINCETUR, verify age and identity before the first bet and block anyone on the national exclusion register. Cryptocurrency payments are banned. On 23 September 2026 the MINCETUR register listed 49 companies holding 95 authorisations, 83 of them in force. Operators pay a 12% tax on monthly net income, defined as stakes and bonus bets less prizes and refunds, minus a flat 2% allowance, plus a selective consumption tax (ISC) on every stake, 0.3% from January 2025 and 1% since 1 July 2025 (Supreme Decree 008-2025-EF), both collected by SUNAT. Advertising unauthorised operators is banned, as is advertising aimed at or featuring minors, and every advert must carry a statutory addiction warning. MINCETUR had 36 unlicensed platforms blocked in July 2026 and closes unlicensed betting shops, and operating without authorisation carries one to four years in prison. A bill filed in the new Chamber of Deputies in October 2026 would raise the ISC to 5% of each stake, and bills to ban gambling advertising and to rework the tax on stakes were filed in the previous Congress.

Tax base

Remote gaming tax (Impuesto a los Juegos a Distancia y a las Apuestas Deportivas a Distancia), 12%, monthly, administered by SUNAT (Law 31557 arts. 39 to 45). Gross monthly income is all stakes received in the month, whether money or bonus credit valued in money, plus other amounts paid by players, including progressive contributions. Net income is gross income less refunds and prizes paid in the month, with any excess carried forward. The taxable base is net income less a fixed maintenance allowance of 2% of net income, calculated separately for each platform (art. 41). Bonus bets are therefore part of gross income, not a deduction. Foreign operators may declare and pay in soles or US dollars (art. 45 as amended by Legislative Decree 1644). On top, the selective consumption tax (ISC) applies to the value of each stake, money or bonus, for both remote gaming and remote sports betting: 0.3% from 1 January to 30 June 2025 and 1% since 1 July 2025 (Supreme Decree 008-2025-EF). Legislative Decree 1644 set the rate at 1% and lets it be changed by supreme decree within a range of 0.3% to 50% (arts. 3 and 4).

Typical time to licence

MINCETUR must decide authorisation and homologation applications within 30 working days, with negative administrative silence (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 32(f)).

Bank guarantee or bond

Each platform authorisation needs a joint, irrevocable, unconditional guarantee in favour of MINCETUR equal to the greater of 3% of the prior year's net income (gross income less refunds and prizes) or 600 UIT, as a bank deposit, bank letter of guarantee or surety policy from an SBS-supervised institution. It runs for one year and must be renewed a month before expiry, or the authorisations lapse; if executed it must be replenished within 15 working days (Law 31557 arts. 22 to 25, art. 24.4 as amended by Law 31806). Certification laboratories post 100 UIT.

(teapuesto.pe, olimpo.bet), Terminus Platform Peru S.A.C. (1xbet.pe), Lucky Torito S.A.C. (inkabet.pe)

Certification requirements

Platforms, game programs, progressive systems and main components need a compliance certificate from a MINCETUR-authorised laboratory against Technical Standards I to IV before homologation (Law 31557 art. 8 as amended). Licensees must file a full platform audit by an authorised laboratory every two years, and by 20 January each year an integrity and security report and a change-management audit (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 37(p), (q) and (t)). Since August 2026 laboratories must also check that platforms produce the reports in MINCETUR's mandatory formats (Oficio Circular 011-2026).

Barriers to entry

Peru is an open licensing market with no cap on authorisations. Peruvian companies, branches of foreign companies and foreign companies without a branch can all apply, although foreign applicants need a representative with powers registered in Peru, and sole traders and EIRLs cannot hold an authorisation. Applicants pass financial, legal, technical and fit-and-proper checks on shareholders of 10% or more, directors and managers (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR arts. 6 to 11), post a guarantee of at least 600 UIT per authorisation, and must homologate the platform and each game through an authorised laboratory. On 23 September 2026 the register listed 95 authorisations held by 49 companies: 83 in force and 12, held by six companies, marked as temporarily suspended. MINCETUR assessed 145 applications in the 2024 formalisation round, and the registers list 368 linked service providers, 8 laboratories and 4,464 authorised betting shops.

Withholding mechanism

Domiciled operators declare and pay the 12% tax and the ISC monthly. For foreign operators the player is legally liable for the ISC and the operator collects it as a perception agent when the stake is applied, where the player is habitually resident in Peru (Peruvian IP or geolocation, Peruvian SIM, Peruvian-issued payment instrument or Peruvian address). Where a foreign operator fails to declare or pay for two or more months, banks, e-money issuers and Banco de la Nación collect the ISC on player deposits and withhold an advance payment of the 12% tax at a rate, set by supreme decree, of 0.5% to 4.6% of the amounts paid to the operator (Legislative Decree 1644 arts. 4 and 6).

Tax base

Remote gaming tax (Impuesto a los Juegos a Distancia y a las Apuestas Deportivas a Distancia), 12%, monthly, administered by SUNAT (Law 31557 arts. 39 to 45). Gross monthly income is all stakes received in the month, whether money or bonus credit valued in money, plus other amounts paid by players, including progressive contributions. Net income is gross income less refunds and prizes paid in the month, with any excess carried forward. The taxable base is net income less a fixed maintenance allowance of 2% of net income, calculated separately for each platform (art. 41). Bonus bets are therefore part of gross income, not a deduction. Foreign operators may declare and pay in soles or US dollars (art. 45 as amended by Legislative Decree 1644). On top, the selective consumption tax (ISC) applies to the value of each stake, money or bonus, for both remote gaming and remote sports betting: 0.3% from 1 January to 30 June 2025 and 1% since 1 July 2025 (Supreme Decree 008-2025-EF). Legislative Decree 1644 set the rate at 1% and lets it be changed by supreme decree within a range of 0.3% to 50% (arts. 3 and 4).

Minimum age

National self-exclusion

Registro de Personas Prohibidas de Acceder a Establecimientos Destinados a la Explotación de Juegos de Casino y Máquinas Tragamonedas (MINCETUR) (mandatory)

KYC timing

Before the first bet: betting is restricted until verification is complete (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 37(c); Technical Standards I section 3.4.1(c)).

AML regime

Preventing money laundering and terrorist financing is a statutory aim (Law 31557 art. 2.3). Licensees must run the anti-money-laundering system (SPLAFT) under Law 27693, with software for due diligence and alerts on suspicious or unusual patterns (art. 26.4), appoint a compliance officer and file the officer's annual report by 15 February with both MINCETUR and UIF-Perú under SBS Resolution 1695-2016. MINCETUR shares the results of its financial evaluations of licensees with UIF-Perú quarterly (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 10).

AML supervisor

MINCETUR (DGJCMT) supervises SPLAFT compliance (Law 31557 art. 6(f)); reports also go to UIF-Perú

Deposit limits

Platforms must let players set limits on deposits and bets; a player-set limit can only be loosened after 24 hours, and operator-imposed limits must be notified in advance (Technical Standards III section 13.7).

Central monitoring system

MINCETUR Data Center: platforms transmit daily consolidated economic data (stakes, prizes, bonuses and more) under Technical Standards IV, retrying every five minutes on failure, and give MINCETUR and SUNAT remote access to servers and databases (Law 31557 arts. 19, 21 and 26.8; Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 45).

Data localisation

None: servers may be in or outside Peru, in dedicated, secured environments certified by an authorised laboratory (Law 31557 art. 20). Player account and transaction records are kept for five years or the tax limitation period, whichever is longer (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 37(i)).

KYC requirements

Players must register once with each operator, with full name, type and number of identity document (DNI, foreign resident card or passport), date of birth, nationality, address and a politically exposed person declaration. The operator verifies identity, age and nationality and checks the national exclusion register and its own exclusion lists; one active account per player per operator; accounts are personal and non-transferable (Law 31557 art. 11 as amended; Technical Standards I section 3.4.1). Only one payment method may be enabled at a time, and it must be in the player's name.

Stake limits

Not yet verified

Mandatory player messaging

The platform homepage must show the MINCETUR authorisation code, the operator's tax number (RUC) and the warning "Los juegos y apuestas deportivas a distancia realizados en exceso pueden causar ludopatía" (remote games and sports betting played to excess can cause gambling addiction), and a link to the MINCETUR exclusion register (Law 31557 art. 26.14; Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR arts. 5.4 and 56).

Reporting obligations

Real-time transmission of technical and economic data to MINCETUR and SUNAT (Law 31557 art. 19), with consolidated economic data sent to the MINCETUR Data Center at least daily, closing at 23:59:59 (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 45.2). Prior notice at least three working days before suspending activity, integrating a provider or deploying an update; notice of new shareholders of 10% or more, directors and managers within 15 working days; server and database credentials to MINCETUR within ten working days of authorisation (arts. 37 and 39 to 40). Biennial full audit and annual reports as set out under licensing.

Game content restrictions

Only games, progressive systems and modalities homologated by MINCETUR may be offered (Law 31557 art. 12.3.1). No bets on events unrelated to the authorised games (art. 27.4); progressive prizes may not exceed 60% of the guarantee (art. 13.2). No games based on animal fights or races not permitted by the State, or games offending dignity, minors' rights or based on offences (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 38). No free play for unregistered users as a promotion (art. 38(b)). Welcome bonuses may not be converted into cash until a condition is met (Law 31557 art. 16.2 as amended by Legislative Decree 1644).

Advertising permitted

Yes

Watershed

None set. Law 31557 art. 33 leaves broadcast hours to the regulation, and Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR does not set any.

Affiliate rules

Affiliates are not licensed or registered. Any publisher, affiliates included, is caught by the ban on advertising platforms that MINCETUR has not authorised (Law 31557 art. 30), which INDECOPI enforces as unfair competition.

Sponsorship rules

Sponsorship is limited to MINCETUR-authorised operators, and the sponsored party must verify the sponsor's authorisation (Law 31557 art. 31 as amended by Law 31806).

Mandatory warnings

Every advert, the operator's homepage and every betting shop must carry, legibly and in proportion to the rest of the content, or clearly spoken on radio: "Los juegos y apuestas deportivas a distancia realizados en exceso pueden causar ludopatía" (remote games and sports betting played to excess can cause gambling addiction) (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 56).

Penalties for breach

Breaches of the advertising and sponsorship chapter are infringements of the principle of legality under the Unfair Competition Law (Legislative Decree 1044), decided by INDECOPI (Law 31557 art. 32). Accepting advertising from unauthorised companies is also a MINCETUR infraction (Law 31557 art. 38(z)).

Credit card ban

No

Crypto stance

Prohibited

Permitted methods

Debit card, Credit card, Cash (in authorised betting shops), Other methods accepted by the operator that identify the player, except cryptocurrency

Payment blocking regime

MINCETUR may ask the competent public or private entities to block payment methods used by unauthorised platforms (Law 31557 art. 6(h); third final provision). No published list of blocked payment channels was found.

Withdrawal timeframe rules

Available balances (deposits, prizes and refunds) must be paid immediately on request to the player's chosen method; bank transfers must be executed within three working days, and refunds of void bets within three working days. Funds may be held for up to 30 working days on justified suspicion of fraud (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 37(e) and (k)).

Currency restrictions

The payment method must identify the player and be used only by that player; one method may be enabled at a time. Player stakes must be held in a dedicated account with an SBS-supervised institution, untouchable until bets are settled (Law 31557 arts. 15 and 26.12 to 26.13; Technical Standards III section 14.2).

Administrative penalties

Warning, fines of 1 to 200 UIT, cancellation and disqualification for up to ten years or permanently (Law 31557 art. 36.1): minor infractions up to 50 UIT, serious 50 to 150 UIT, very serious 150 to 200 UIT, cancellation or disqualification (Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR art. 50). Operating a platform or betting shop without authorisation is very serious. Corrective and interim measures include closure, suspension, confiscation and blocking of IP addresses, URLs, websites and apps (art. 36.2 and 36.3). Repeat offences within a year double the fine.

Criminal penalties

Organising, conducting or exploiting remote games or sports betting without meeting the legal requirements: one to four years in prison, 365 day-fines and disqualification (Penal Code art. 243-C as amended by Law 31806).

Operator liability

Any remote game or bet offered without MINCETUR authorisation is expressly prohibited (Law 31557, fifth final provision). MINCETUR closes unlicensed premises, confiscates equipment, and has the MTC block websites, IP addresses, URLs and apps of unauthorised platforms (third final provision; Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR, third transitional provision). Directors and shareholders of a company sanctioned for unauthorised operation are barred from holding an authorisation (art. 11(c)).

Player liability

No player offence was found in Law 31557 or in Penal Code art. 243-C, which penalises the organiser or operator. MINCETUR press releases say participants can also face prison.

The first two-year platform homologations granted in 2024 are falling due, and MINCETUR has warned that a homologation lapses automatically if renewal is not started in time (Oficio Circular 008-2026). A draft directive on platform components for the 1% tax on stakes was published for comment in February 2026. In Congress, Bill 9645/2024-CR, which would open the activity to sole traders, rework the tax on stakes and create a match-fixing offence, went back to committee in June 2026, and Bill 13265/2025-CR would ban all gambling advertising; both were filed in the 2021 to 2026 parliamentary period and their standing in the new Congress was not confirmed. Bill 00519-2026-2031-CD, filed in the new Chamber of Deputies in October 2026, would raise the ISC on remote games and remote sports betting from 1% to 5% of each stake and has no committee report. MINCETUR says it will keep supervising all remote gaming activity and blocking unlicensed platforms.

Who regulates online gambling in Peru?

MINCETUR, through its Directorate General of Casino Games and Slot Machines (DGJCMT), under Law 31557 as amended by Law 31806 and Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR. SUNAT administers the taxes, INDECOPI enforces the advertising rules and the MTC carries out website blocking.

Can a foreign company get a licence without a Peruvian entity?

Yes. Foreign companies without a branch can apply, but they need a representative with powers registered in Peru. Authorisations are granted separately for remote gaming and remote sports betting, for six renewable years, and each platform and game must be homologated after testing by an authorised laboratory.

How are online operators taxed?

A 12% tax on monthly net income, meaning stakes and bonus bets less prizes and refunds, minus a flat 2% allowance, plus a selective consumption tax (ISC) on the value of every stake, 0.3% from 1 January 2025 and 1% since 1 July 2025 under Supreme Decree 008-2025-EF. Both are administered by SUNAT. Foreign operators collect the ISC from players resident in Peru. A bill filed in October 2026 would raise the ISC to 5%.

How many operators are licensed?

On 23 September 2026 the MINCETUR register listed 95 authorisations held by 49 companies, 83 in force and 12 temporarily suspended. The register also lists 8 authorised laboratories, 368 linked service providers and 4,464 authorised betting shops.

What are the main advertising rules?

Only MINCETUR-authorised operators may advertise or sponsor, adverts may not target or feature minors, and each advert must carry the warning that remote games and sports betting played to excess can cause gambling addiction. No broadcast hours are set. A bill to ban all gambling advertising has been filed.

What happens to unlicensed operators?

Offering remote gaming without authorisation is expressly prohibited. MINCETUR can impose fines of up to 200 UIT, close premises, confiscate equipment and have websites and payment channels blocked, and operating without authorisation carries one to four years in prison under Penal Code art. 243-C. MINCETUR had 36 platforms blocked in July 2026.
