Peru sports betting regulation and market trends

Overview

The sports betting landscape in Peru is characterized by significant market volatility and an evolving regulatory framework. Following the 2026 World Cup, the market experienced a decline in monthly visits from an average of 136.9 million to 87.4 million, though the third quarter of 2026 still saw record traffic of 309.4 million visits.

Legally, the industry is governed by Law 31557 and Law 31806, with oversight provided by MINCETUR. This framework mandates official authorization for platforms and includes consumer protections such as identity verification and responsible gaming tools.

In response to the sector's economic scale and rising social concerns, the Peruvian Congress is reviewing a proposal to increase the Selective Consumption Tax (ISC) on online betting from 1% to 5%. Proponents of the bill, introduced by members of the Partido Cívico Obras, aim to generate up to PEN 1,620 million in annual revenue and address public health issues, citing approximately 14,409 treated cases of gambling addiction in 2025.
