The rule in Peru

Regulator, licensing and what it means for payments

Law 31557 has been in force since February 2024, with MINCETUR licensing, supervising and enforcing. MINCETUR has authorized 49 companies to run remote sports betting, online casino or both, and 44 of them are active while five sit under temporary suspension. Operators pay 12% on net gaming revenue plus a 1% excise on every online bet added by Legislative Decree 1644 in September 2024. Crypto is barred as a direct deposit method, so fiat gateways carry the whole cashier. MINCETUR's enforcement reach is the part that matters for payments: it can order IP restrictions and payment blocks against unlicensed operators, with fines up to S/990,000 and criminal exposure behind them.

Payment methods in Peru

PLINmajor
e-wallet
PLIN is a wallet network shared by several Peruvian banks, and it sits beside Yape at Peruvian cashiers.
PagoEfectivomajor
vouchers & cash
PagoEfectivo aggregates cash and bank vouchers, and it also routes Yape payments.
