Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet has today received a license to operate in Peru. The license, awarded by the country’s Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism (Mincetur), means Peruvian players will get to sample the company’s unparalleled portfolio of casino games.
They will also get to enjoy the experience of playing on SkillOnNet’s localised Spanish language software with its flagship brand PlayUZU.pe
Online gambling has long been legal in Peru but until recently the country lacked a legal licensing framework. In August 2022, Peruvian legislators passed a law that established a comprehensive regulatory framework for gambling activities. The law came into effect in February 2024, kickstarting a 30-day window for license applications.
The license award highlights SkillOnNet’s commitment to working in regulated markets and represents a new milestone for its expansion into the Latam region. This push has recently seen it launch successfully in the new regulated markets of Mexico and Buenos Aires City.
SkillOnNet operates dozens of market-leading gaming brands in numerous regulated jurisdictions across the world, including Portugal, Germany, the UK, and North America, as well as Latin America.
Helena Rico, SkillOnNet Head of Marketing Spain & Latam, said: “We’re thrilled that SkillOnNet has obtained a Peruvian license. It’s a country we’ve been following closely over the last few years, as it has huge potential to become one of the most important markets in Latin America. We’re sure that SkillOnNet will build a successful business as we take our unique proposition to the market, as well as one of the strongest games portfolios around. PlayUZU as SkillOnNet´s main brand will bring to the market its unique “no wagering” proposition, meaning all the incentives given to players are restrictions free, with no strings attached. At PlayUZU we will be offering a transparent, fair and safe casino gaming experience which has already proved its success in Europe and America.”
