The initial law, which sought to regulate the online gambling sector in Peru, was Law No 31,557. In August 2024, the then president Pedro Castillo signed the legislation into law, which legalised sports betting and igaming in Peru.
Online poker may be at an early stage of growth in Peru, but the country enjoys full legislation at a federal level. Players in the country can access any site legally, whether onshore or offshore. The government has no limitations on gaming venues or sites.
