If you’re considering entering the Latin American iGaming market, Peru should be on your radar. With a robust legal framework and a fast-growing digital population, Peru offers tremendous opportunities for online casino operators. Here’s everything you need to know to start your journey — brought to you by Blokotech.
Why Invest in the Peruvian Online Casino Industry?
Peru’s economy grew by 4.7% in 2024, and the iGaming sector has followed suit. New legislation, a young tech-savvy population, and over 80% internet penetration are all contributing to the rise of digital gaming. This, combined with over €1 billion in annual online gambling volume, makes Peru a fertile ground for regulated operators.
Regulatory Overview: What You Must Know
Since February 2024, online casinos and sportsbooks are regulated under:
- Law 31557, updated by Law 31806
- Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR
All operators must:
- Obtain a licence from MINCETUR
- Host all player data and systems within Peru
- Use GLI or BMM-certified software
- Pay a 12% gaming tax on net profits
- Accept only fiat currencies (crypto is not allowed)
Failure to comply may lead to heavy fines and IP/URL blocking.

Payment Preferences in Peru

- Visa, MasterCard

- E-wallets (Skrill, Neteller, AstroPay)
