Peruvian gaming-law columnist identifies illegal betting and sports integrity as key challenges
An opinion column on a Peruvian newspaper argued that Peru's sports-betting rules must balance channelling demand to regulated operators with controls on illegal betting and match manipulation. Gaming lawyer Carlos Fonseca said licensed companies face a 12% levy on the taxable base determined by gross gaming winnings, plus a 1% selective consumption tax on each bet; he noted that a congressional anti-match-fixing measure remains pending after executive observations.
The tax structure and pending anti-match-fixing measure affect regulated operators' costs and compliance obligations in Peru.
