Peru: A Gambling Nation - Altenar’s Market Overview And Insights

Share this article

Peru is one of the largest gambling markets in South America, making it a key area for expansion and opportunity. Gambling—both in-person and online—has become deeply integrated into everyday life across the country. 


Altenar, the sportsbook software provider, recently compiled a series of market reports and insights available upon request through its website. Among these findings, Peru stood out as one of the most promising open markets for iGaming growth. 


With years of experience operating across global markets, Altenar is uniquely positioned to assess Peru’s iGaming landscape—one that has quickly evolved from traditional in-person gaming to digital platforms in just a few short years. 


Enabling broader access to gaming technology is one of Altenar’s key strengths, and the company has proven its ability to meet the demands of Peru’s betting audience. For decades, bettors in the region have favored games like horse racing, making it a culturally embedded form of entertainment. 


Peru has a long-standing affinity for horse racing—one of the oldest gaming traditions in the country. The Hipódromo de Monterrico opened in Lima in 1960 with an all-weather track, ensuring races and betting could continue uninterrupted during unfavorable conditions.


However, soccer (football) holds the top spot as the most popular sport in Peru, with volleyball coming in a close third. 


Among these insights, Altenar identified that the country’s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is trending upward. Estimated gambling revenue was approximately $1 billion USD in 2016—and that figure is believed to have grown significantly in recent years. 


So, what more can be said about Peru’s expanding iGaming market—and what opportunities could it unlock for your operation?
