PlayUZU operator is now licensed to operate in the brand-new Peruvian market
Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet has today received a license to operate in Peru. The license, awarded by the country’s Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism (Mincetur), means Peruvian players will get to sample the company’s unparalleled portfolio of casino games.
They will also get to enjoy the experience of playing on SkillOnNet’s localised Spanish language software with its flagship brand PlayUZU.pe
Online gambling has long been legal in Peru but until recently the country lacked a legal licensing framework. In August 2022, Peruvian legislators passed a law that established a comprehensive regulatory framework for gambling activities. The law came into effect in February 2024, kickstarting a 30-day window for license applications.
The license award highlights SkillOnNet’s commitment to working in regulated markets and represents a new milestone for its expansion into the Latam region. This push has recently seen it launch successfully in the new regulated markets of Mexico and Buenos Aires City.
SkillOnNet operates dozens of market-leading gaming brands in numerous regulated jurisdictions across the world, including Portugal, Germany, the UK, and North America, as well as Latin America.
Helena Rico, SkillOnNet Head of Marketing Spain & Latam, said: “We’re thrilled that SkillOnNet has obtained a Peruvian license. It’s a country we’ve been following closely over the last few years, as it has huge potential to become one of the most important markets in Latin America. We’re sure that SkillOnNet will build a successful business as we take our unique proposition to the market, as well as one of the strongest games portfolios around. PlayUZU as SkillOnNet´s main brand will bring to the market its unique “no wagering” proposition, meaning all the incentives given to players are restrictions free, with no strings attached.
At PlayUZU we will be offering a transparent, fair and safe casino gaming experience which has already proved its success in Europe and America.”

MDC Issues Commentary as U.S. Gambling Enters “Regulatory Reset” Following $148 Billion Wagered

Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) has issued an expert commentary on what it calls a “regulatory reset” in the U.S. gambling sector, as lawmakers and regulators respond to explosive growth in consumer betting behavior. According to the American Gaming Association, Americans wagered a record $148 billion on sports in 2024. This surge has sparked new scrutiny from both federal and state-level authorities.
Recent legislative efforts in New York, Louisiana, and Montana have targeted sweepstakes-based casinos and skill-based betting formats. Proposed changes include tighter bet size limits, stricter advertising rules, and licensing reforms aimed at reducing player harm and increasing transparency.
“The regulatory environment is catching up with consumer behavior. There’s growing concern over how online gambling is marketed, accessed, and governed. Areas like responsible gaming, ad targeting, and instant deposits are now being looked at much more critically,” said a spokesperson at MDC.
According to the latest figures from the American Gaming Association, U.S. commercial gaming revenue reached $19.44 billion in Q2 2025, marking a 9.8% increase compared to the same period last year. Online casino gaming accounted for $2.6 billion of that total, reflecting a 32.3% year-over-year jump. The numbers underscore continued momentum for digital platforms even as regulations tighten.
MDC’s commentary urges both players and operators to stay ahead of the curve. As laws evolve, demand is rising for licensed platforms that offer low-deposit access, better responsible gambling tools, and full regulatory compliance.

Dutch Gambling Regulator to Amend its Remote Gambling Licensing Policy Rules

The Dutch Gambling Regulator (KSA) is to amend its Remote Gambling Licensing Policy Rules effective January 1, 2026. This amendment is necessary, in part, because the licenses granted in September 2021 expire on October 1, 2026. Licenses have a term of five years. The amended policy rules impose new obligations on all applicants, but primarily provide guidance on the process for applying for a follow-up license by providers already holding a license.
New requirements apply to all license applicants. For example, applications must include a document explaining how providers plan to inform the KSA (Netherlands Authority for the Protection of Gaming) in a timely manner about important changes to their policies and operations. Applicants must also now include an exit plan explaining how they will reduce their gaming offerings once the license expires.
Furthermore, an important addition has been made regarding reliability: if providers have not complied with final or provisionally enforceable court rulings at the time of their application, their reliability is not beyond doubt. This constitutes grounds for refusing a license. Providers must also now submit a Wwft risk analysis with their application.
A separate application procedure applies to applications for a follow-up license by parties already active on the market. In this procedure, various components will be reassessed, including the addiction prevention policy and the recruitment and advertising policy. A new integration test will be conducted for the control database (CDB) component. They must also meet the new conditions that apply to all applications, as mentioned above.
When opening the online market, the legislature deliberately opted to issue permits with a term of (maximum) five years. By using a fixed-term permit, the legislature intended that the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (KSA) would consider supervisory experience gained in each application for a subsequent permit. Providers who have made mistakes in the past five years must explain during the application process how they have learned from previous mistakes and how they intend to prevent recurrence. If the KSA finds this explanation insufficient, the permit may be denied or additional conditions and restrictions may be imposed.
