The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism of Peru (Mincetur) has published the bill that regulates the exploitation of online games and sports betting<\/a>. The folder expects to receive comments and suggestions from the private sector on this document within 21 calendar days, until December 2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The General Directorate of Casino<\/a> Games and Slot Machines, attached to Mincetur, thus opened the Regulatory Public Consultation of the Bill 31557, which regulates betting and distance sports games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that the said norm was approved by the Peruvian Congress in mid-July and enacted by the Executive in August of this year. The text, which had the favorable vote of 91 parliamentarians and none against, established a direct tax applied on Net Income (Net Win) of 12%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draft regulation includes 53 articles ranging from general provisions, activity authorizations, technological platforms, certification laboratories, registration of suppliers, obligations and prohibitions of operators and sanctions, among other aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, the head of Mincetur, Minister Roberto S\u00e1nchez, stated that this regulation constitutes an initiative \u201cdesigned to start collecting taxes in this activity\u201d. \u201cNow, for 21 days, the pre-regulation is available to all stakeholders and operators in the sector, so that they can give feedback, dialogue, and we can have their suggestions\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mincetur added: \u201cAs is known, the activity of distance gaming and sports betting<\/a> in our country generated millions of dollars annually without paying the Special Tax on Games (12%), just like casinos and slots. Therefore, at the initiative of the government of President Pedro Castillo, Mincetur worked on a bill that allows its regulation and formalization.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe law will allow the State to collect 160 million soles per year (USD 41.8 million), which will be invested as follows: 20% will go to the Public Treasury; 40% to tourism development; another 20% will go to promoting mental health; and the remaining 20% \u200b\u200bto the Treasury\u201d, highlighted the Peruvian government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
