“By entering the Peruvian market, we’re able to support local operators in enhancing their player experience, improving operational efficiency, and ultimately, growing their business. We look forward to becoming a trusted partner to the region’s operators as we establish a long-term presence here.”

Since regulations were introduced in October 2023, Peru has been pinpointed as one of LatAm’s major growth markets by industry experts.

Reports project the market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9% between 2023 and 2031, largely driven by increased digital adoption and growing demand for online entertainment.

MINCETUR, Peru’s regulator, estimates that approximately Sol3.8 billion (€1bn) in bets was placed in 2022, with online gaming and sports betting estimated to produce Sol162m (€40.6m) a year in taxes for the state.

As MPL comes to its end this year, CG will also be collaborating with MLBB professional teams for a flash $4000 prize tournament set to enhance the visibility of the company’s services. This event marks a pivotal moment set to highlight CG’s preparedness to impact the professional MLBB scene.
