In July 2025 the Plenary of Congress approved Bill No. 9645/2024-CR, which
amends Law No. 31557 on remote gaming and sports betting. Tis will lead to an
expansion of online betting via land based retail locations as individuals with
businesses and legal entities can now offer
digital sports betting services to consumers. Te amendment was introduced following increasing pressure from associations of
local shop owners who have been advocating for changes to the law to support the economic recovery of their businesses.
Unlike other jurisdictions in Latin America Peru has a well- developed retail sports betting sector and this is likely to expand. Te number of gaming and betting venues in the country now exceeds 4,500. In Peru many of the leading operators such as Apuesta Total and DoradoBet offer both retail and online betting. Apuesta Total is the main sponsor of a number of top Peruvian football clubs as well as the Peruvian Volleyball League and Women's Football League. In June it became Liverpool FC's official regional partner in Latin America through 2028. Meanwhile Inkabet which has been present in the market for several years and was acquired by Betsson (itself present in the Peruvian market since 2008) is one of the market leaders online. In July 2025 the Plenary of Congress approved Bill No. 9645/2024-CR, which amends Law No. 31557 on remote gaming and sports betting. Tis will lead to an expansion of online betting via land based retail locations as individuals with businesses and legal entities can now offer digital sports betting services to consumers. Te amendment was introduced following increasing pressure from associations of local shop owners who have been advocating for changes to the law to support the economic recovery of their businesses. When it comes to taxation of online operators, this currently
stands at 12 per cent GGR. Additionally, Peruvian residents pay a one per cent excise tax on each bet they place. To ease their transition to the new structure, the government temporarily reduced this rate to 0.3 per cent, applicable only until July 2025. However the tax has proved to be highly contentious. Te overall amount wagered, which includes bets made using bonuses, is taxable irrespective of whether the operator holds a license. Tis taxation has emerged as a risk for licensed operators in Peru. While international betting platforms can shift the tax burden to their customers, domestic companies are forced to absorb these costs, resulting in reduced profit margins. A number of sports betting operators have initiated legal proceedings and have managed to obtain a suspension. Law No. 31,557, which regulates remote gaming and online sports betting came into effect in February 2024, following a two-year consultation period. Tanks to regulatory measures, MINCETUR (the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism) has also been granted the authority to block unauthorised websites and sanction payment services associated with illegal operators. As a result, the presence of unlicensed platforms in the Peruvian digital space has already decreased by an estimated 40 per cent.
