What is a Peru online gambling license (MINCETUR)?
A Peru online gambling license is an authorisation issued by MINCETUR to exploit a technology platform for remote gaming or remote sports betting. Law No. 31557 of 13 August 2022 created the regime, Law No. 31806 of 28 June 2023 amended it, and Supreme Decree 005-2023-MINCETUR brought the rules into force on 10 February 2024.
Before February 2024 Peru had no licensing route for online operators, and offshore sites served Peruvian players from a grey market. That gap is now closed. Any operator taking bets from players physically in Peru needs a MINCETUR authorisation.
Two names run through every document. MINCETUR (Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo) is the ministry. DGJCMT (Dirección General de Juegos de Casino y Máquinas Tragamonedas) is the directorate inside it that authorises operators and supervises them afterwards.
The authorisation attaches to the platform, not to the company alone. Games, progressive systems and main platform components carry their own MINCETUR registration, and under Article 8.4 of Law 31557 those registrations run for an indefinite term.
Does MINCETUR issue one licence or one per vertical?
MINCETUR issues one authorisation per activity, not a single licence covering both. Article 7 of Law No. 31557 states that authorisations are granted independently for each activity. Remote gaming and remote sports betting count as separate activities, so an operator running casino and sportsbook holds two authorisations, each for six calendar years.
The cost consequence sits in Article 22.2. A guarantee is demandable for each exploitation authorisation. Two authorisations mean two guarantees, not one shared across the group.
MINCETUR's own registry shows the pattern. Read on 20 August 2026, the Titulares de Autorización de Explotación register listed 94 authorisations held by 49 companies: 49 for remote sports betting and 45 for remote gaming. Registration codes opening with 11 mark remote gaming, codes opening with 21 mark sports betting.
Budget for the structure you actually want. An operator that launches casino and sportsbook together needs 1,200 UIT of guarantee capacity, not 600.
Who regulates online gambling in Peru?
MINCETUR (Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo) regulates online gambling in Peru through the DGJCMT (Dirección General de Juegos de Casino y Máquinas Tragamonedas).
Supreme Decree 004-2025-MINCETUR, published on 19 July 2025, created a dedicated Dirección de Autorización y Registro de Juegos a Distancia y Apuestas Deportivas, the Directorate for Authorization and Registration of Remote Gaming, inside that directorate.
Three other authorities sit alongside MINCETUR. SUNAT assesses and collects the gaming tax and the ISC. The SBS supervises the banks and insurers that issue licence guarantees. UIF-Perú receives anti-money-laundering reporting from operators.
The 2025 restructuring matters commercially. Online applications no longer queue behind land-based casino and slot files. The online register now has staff whose only job is authorisation and registration.
Who can apply for a Peru gambling license?
Three vehicles qualify under Article 7 of Law No. 31557: a Peruvian company, normally an S.A.C.; a Peruvian branch of a foreign company; or a foreign company applying directly through the non-resident route added by Law No. 31806. Every route needs a Peru-resident legal representative whose powers are registered at SUNARP.
Peru sets no nationality limit on shareholders or directors, and a Peruvian S.A.C. can be 100% foreign owned.
Article 11 impediments reach every shareholder holding 10% or more, plus directors, managers and registered representatives. Bankruptcy disqualifies. So do convictions for fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, tax crimes or organised crime, in Peru or abroad, even after rehabilitation.
Nominee layers and undisclosed beneficial owners are the most common reason a file stalls. Disclose the full ownership chain at kick-off, not after the first observación.
What documents does MINCETUR require (F-033 dossier)?
MINCETUR requires form F-033 plus two separate document sets: a corporate file on the company applying and a personal file on every principal holding 10% or more.
Foreign-language documents need a Spanish translation and an apostille. The filing fee is S/273.10, paid at Banco de la Nación before submission.
Per principal, meaning any 10% shareholder or senior officer:
valid passport, notarised and apostilled in the country of issue;
proof of address no older than three months;
bank reference letter from the principal's main institution;
notarised schedule of assets;
credit bureau report from the country of residence;
criminal record certificate, apostilled;
CV with full professional history;
sworn Article 11 declaration covering bankruptcy and the listed criminal convictions.
For the F-033 file itself:
signed F-033 form with RUC, registry entry and legal representative details;
sworn list of every linked service provider, each with its MINCETUR registration code;
Article 11 declarations from all shareholders, directors, managers and registered representatives;
beneficial ownership pack for every holder at 10% or more;
financial statements for the last two fiscal years, or a pre-feasibility study with three-year projections for a newly formed entity;
share register (Libro de Matrícula de Acciones);
platform description and change-management process against the applicable Estándares Técnicos;
sworn declaration that the Peruvian entity carries no sanction under Law No. 30424;
proof of the S/273.10 payment at Banco de la Nación.

Getting a Peru gambling license takes 9 to 14 months and runs on two parallel tracks. The first covers company formation, banking and guarantee underwriting.

FAQ

MINCETUR issues one authorisation per activity. Remote gaming and remote sports betting are separate activities under Article 7 of Law No. 31557, each authorisation runs six calendar years, and Article 22.2 requires a separate guarantee for each. An operator running casino and sportsbook holds two authorisations and two guarantees.
No. Law No. 31806 added a route for a foreign company to apply without forming a Peruvian entity. The alternatives are a Peruvian S.A.C. and a Peruvian branch. All three require a Peru-resident legal representative and a general manager under Article 185 of the Ley General de Sociedades.
Article 24.4 of Law No. 31557 sets the guarantee at the greater of 600 UIT or 3% of prior-year net income, per authorisation. At the 2026 UIT that is S/3,300,000. Cash is one of three permitted forms. A bank guarantee or a surety policy from an SBS-supervised institution also qualifies.
No. Article 15.1 of Law No. 31557 excludes cryptocurrencies from permitted player payment methods, and Article 38(d) of the Reglamento prohibits the licence holder from transacting in cryptocurrency. The sanction for a breach can reach revocation of the authorisation. A crypto-native operator rebuilds the payment stack before applying.
Three taxes apply together. The gaming tax is 12% of monthly net income after a 2% maintenance deduction, an effective 11.76%. The ISC is 1% of the value of every bet, legally payable by the player and collected by the operator. Corporate income tax is 29.5% on net profit.
Article 7.6 of Law No. 31557 authorises five extensions: .bet.pe, .bet, .com, .pe and .com.pe. The domain must belong to a platform that MINCETUR has authorised. A global brand already on .com can keep it, provided the specific domain is registered with MINCETUR before launch.
Nine to fourteen months from engagement to live operation. An operator whose platform already holds certification for an adjacent regulated market, such as Buenos Aires or Brazil, typically closes in 5 to 9 months. A platform certified only for an offshore regime adds 16 to 24 weeks of laboratory work.
No published cap exists. MINCETUR's register listed 94 live authorisations across 49 companies on 20 August 2026, and the market stays open to any applicant that meets the suitability and technical requirements. The barrier in Peru is qualification and capital, not licence supply.
Two bottlenecks cause most delay. Laboratory certification sits on the critical path and takes 16 to 24 weeks for a platform scoped only for an offshore regime. Guarantee underwriting for an unfamiliar applicant takes 6 to 10 weeks. MINCETUR resolves most gaps through observaciones rather than refusal.
Yes. Peru places no nationality restriction on shareholders or directors, and 100% foreign ownership of a Peruvian S.A.C. is permitted. The legal representative and the general manager must be Peru-resident. Article 11 impediment checks apply to every shareholder at 10% or more.
MINCETUR publishes its registers at apuestasdeportivas.mincetur.gob.pe. The Titulares de Autorización de Explotación register lists each authorised company, its registration code, its authorised domain, the vertical and the current status. An authorised site also runs on one of the five domain extensions permitted by Article 7.6.
