The legal evolution of the online casino market: a look from Peru

The online casino market in Peru has undergone a significant legal evolution in recent years. In 2017, the Peruvian government enacted Law No. 31577, which regulates online gaming and establishes the requirements to operate an online casino. This law also establishes the requirements for obtaining a gaming licence, as well as the penalties for non-compliance.

In addition, new regulatory entities were created to supervise and control the online gambling sector. These entities are responsible for enforcing the law and ensuring that all online casinos comply with legal standards.

The law also requires all online casinos to provide player protection, including anti-money laundering measures and the prevention of compulsive gambling. These measures have contributed to improving the security and transparency of the online casino market in Peru, which has allowed many foreign companies to enter the country with confidence.
