Peru reports 40% fall in illegal online gambling activity
Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism reported a 40% reduction in illegal online gambling activity in May 2025, following enforcement work by its casino and slot-machine directorate. The ministry’s reported results also included the removal of 15% of unauthorised sites and a doubling of legal online gambling supply compared with before regulation; licensed operators questioned the effectiveness of the framework.
The reported enforcement results and operator concerns bear on how Peru’s regulated online market addresses illegal competition.
