Peru proposes lower gambling fines and tighter influencer advertising rules

Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) is proposing lower maximum gambling fines alongside more detailed advertising safeguards, including explicit operator responsibility for promotions published by influencers. Under the draft, maximum fines would fall from 50 to 11 tax reference units (UIT) for minor infringements, from 150 to 35 UIT for serious infringements, and from 200 to 70 UIT for very serious infringements. Licence cancellation and temporary or permanent disqualification would remain available for very serious breaches. Peruvian newspaper El Pueblo also reported the proposed reduction in the maximum penalty.
