Market profile
MINCETUR (Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo)
Peru regulates remote games and remote sports betting under Law No. 31557, as amended by Law No. 31806, with MINCETUR acting through the DGJCMT. The live authorisation service returned 86 current records across 48 unique consumer domains on 4 August 2026. A domain can have separate games and sports-betting records, so those figures are not counts of legal entities.

Regulatory framework
Operating authorisation
Peruvian companies, foreign companies with a Peruvian branch and foreign companies without a local branch may apply. An exploitation authorisation lasts six years and can be renewed for equal periods.
Platform homologation
The technological platform needs a separate technical authorisation and registration. It requires certification from an authorised laboratory and is valid for two years, renewable for equal periods.
How to read the register
MINCETUR can publish separate current records for games and sports betting under the same consumer domain. Check the exact domain, authorisation activity and current status rather than relying on a brand name alone.
Player protection and reporting
Participation is limited to people aged 18 or over. MINCETUR advises players to use authorised platforms only and provides a dedicated channel for reporting illegal operations.
