Peru regulates remote games and remote sports betting under Law No. 31557, as amended by Law No. 31806, with MINCETUR acting through the DGJCMT. On 8 September 2026, the live service returned 96 rows: 83 VIGENTE records across 45 normalised consumer domains plus 13 temporarily suspended rows across seven domains. Bitelbet had both product records suspended, while Aciértala retained a current sportsbook record and a suspended games record. A domain can have separate product records, so these figures are not counts of legal entities.

Legal framework
Law No. 31557, amended by Law No. 31806, and Supreme Decree No. 005-2023-MINCETUR create the national framework for remote games and remote sports betting.
MINCETUR legal frameworkOperating authorisation
Peruvian companies, foreign companies with a Peruvian branch and foreign companies without a local branch may apply. An exploitation authorisation lasts six years and can be renewed for equal periods.
MINCETUR operating procedurePlatform homologation
The technological platform needs a separate technical authorisation and registration. It requires certification from an authorised laboratory and is valid for two years, renewable for equal periods.
MINCETUR platform procedureHow to read the register
MINCETUR can publish separate current records for games and sports betting under the same consumer domain. Check the exact domain, authorisation activity and current status rather than relying on a brand name alone.
MINCETUR live registerPlayer protection and reporting
Participation is limited to people aged 18 or over. MINCETUR advises players to use authorised platforms only and provides a dedicated channel for reporting illegal operations.

mercapuesta.com was not present among the 45 normalised consumer domains with VIGENTE records in the live MINCETUR holder-authorisation service. This Peru-specific finding does not establish the brand’s status elsewhere.
