Ecuador requires betting platforms to report unusual transactions
Ecuador’s Financial and Economic Analysis Unit ordered sports-betting operators to report unusual or suspicious activity detected on their platforms under Resolution UAFE-DG-2026-0005. The rules also require risk-prevention systems, a compliance officer and registration with the authority; separately, the tax service set a 15% VAT rate for specified digital services, including online gambling.
Betting operators must establish reporting and compliance controls, while the separate VAT rules affect the sector’s tax treatment.
