Ecuador’s legislature recognises sports predictions in December 2025 law update
Ecuador’s National Assembly approved an update to the Organic Law on Sport, Physical Education and Recreation in December 2025 that expressly recognises sports predictions as legal and subject to state regulation. The measure still awaited executive sanction and publication, while licensing rules and specific tax obligations remained to be set by secondary regulation, the interviewed legal specialists said.
Operators and regulators still need licensing and tax rules before the recognised activity has a defined operating framework.
