SafetyPay in Peruvian Casinos
On this page
This page is for players in Peru who want to use SafetyPay, a bank-transfer and cash payment method, at online casinos. Peru regulates remote gaming and sports betting under Law 31557 of 2022, with MINCETUR licensing operators since applications opened in February 2024. Some licensed casinos may offer SafetyPay; check the cashier. Below we explain how it works and how to deposit.
Online Gambling Regulation in Peru
Peru is a Latin American country with a long-standing land-based gambling scene, with most casinos in Lima. Global operators have shown interest in expanding in Peru.
In 2022 Peru passed Law 31557, which regulates remote gaming and sports betting. MINCETUR began accepting licence applications in February 2024, so players can now play at licensed online casinos. Operators without a licence are not authorised: MINCETUR has blocked unlicensed platforms (El Peruano), so licensed sites are the safer choice.
The law focuses on player protection, which applies at locally licensed sites. MINCETUR supervises licensed operators; offshore sites give you no such protection.
Several operators and software developers have expanded into Peru after obtaining a licence, so licensed sites offer games such as slots, live casino, poker, bingo, lottery and table games.
Next comes the payment method. Among the options is the e-payment solution SafetyPay. Whether a Peruvian casino offers it, and in which currency, depends on the casino, so check the cashier.
SafetyPay started in Latin America and is now owned by Paysafe, though Latin America remains its core. It can be used by banked and unbanked players, and the next section explains how it works and how to deposit.
Using SafetyPay Across Peruvian Online Casinos
SafetyPay’s company history dates its start to 2007, as a way for Latin American users to make cross-border online payments. Paysafe announced its acquisition of SafetyPay in 2021 and has operated it since 2022 (iGaming Business).
Its main markets are in Latin America, including Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Brazil and Peru. The Paysafe acquisition has helped it expand beyond the region.
SafetyPay began as an eCommerce payment platform. Today it supports real-time alternative payment methods, classic bank transfers and cash payments, for both banked and unbanked users.
Merchants integrate SafetyPay through online or mobile integration. Unbanked players pay in cash at collection points such as Red Digital, Kasnet, Tambo or Agente Niubiz. Banked players pay through online banking at banks such as Interbank, Banco Pichincha, Caja Huancayo or Scotiabank, and SafetyPay says card numbers are not shared. SafetyPay’s own site cites about 380 bank partners and 180,000 collection points across 16 countries, so the list in any one country is much shorter.
