PlayUZU, the flagship Spanish-language brand from global entertainment powerhouse SkillOnNet, is now live in the newly regulated Peruvian market.

Peruvian players can now enjoy top quality, localized content at PlayUZU.pe, along with the brand’s famous guarantee of no wagering requirements – ever. PlayUZU is marketed as a “fair” online casino that offers players a better deal by refusing to add playthrough requirements to its bonuses.

The launch will be backed by a multimedia marketing campaign to highlight the core values of the PlayUZU brand: fun, transparency, simplicity and responsible gaming.

This will include a significant television advertising push, supported by an extensive digital marketing campaign via search-engine positioning, social networks and influencers. The campaign aims to enforce the brand’s positioning, which is all about providing an innovative and entertaining space where players can have fun whether they win or lose.

After first launching in Spain in 2020 where it has since become a household name, PlayUZU has been extending its footprint in the fast-growing Latin American market, having recently launched in Mexico and Buenos Aires City.

Peru’s new licensing regime came into effect in February 2024, and PlayUZU was among the first operators to receive the go-ahead from the country’s regulator. The platform boasts an unparalleled games portfolio with top titles from the biggest and best game studios in the world.

Helena Rico Head of Marketing Spain and LatAm at PlayUZU.pe said: “In an industry dominated by bonuses with complicated terms and conditions and deceptive small print, we think Peruvian players will enjoy PlayUZU’s unique proposition of a fair deal with no wagering requirements. We also believe that by providing players with a fun and localized gaming experience we can make PlayUZU a top brand in this exciting new market.”
