Online poker popularity in Peru is on the rise. Since the game of skill isn’t as popular amongst locals, the country should gradually grow as more people engage in the few live poker rooms present in the country than in virtual or online poker. Even though 40% of the country population has access to online poker very few play the game with sports betting and horse racing. These take priority due to their “Status.”
Another challenge affecting online poker is the absence of a local poker provider. In a country of over 30 million people, the absence of a local Peru poker provider is a major issue. However, the country prides itself on ensuring peace and fair play in all its dealings. Therefore, the country does not block any foreign or offshore accounts for Peruvian players. Taking such a stand to support players by providing licensing to offshore accounts has worked well for the government in Peru. In addition, the ban on smoking while on the casino floor in most land-based poker venues has led to an increase in live poker players online. Since the Latin American online poker industry is still in its infancy stage, Peru still has a chance to make it through and strengthen the industry in the future.
Peru remains open to new gambling ideas. The government may take a step towards regulating the industry. However, regulation ideas will have to meet the current player expectations. The idea of a local online poker site might be outdated and competed by other major and international providers. The government must weigh all potential outcomes to retain the current atmosphere with good games and uninterrupted access!
Players in Peru carry the advantage of selecting the right poker site to fit their current needs. Since the government has no major objections to whichever site the player chooses.
Looking at the top players appearing in the player database. Diego Ventura, a Peruvian poker star, appears on the list with $1.250 million in poker earnings. Professional players can earn huge amounts of money if playing for real, fun, and professional level! Diego did and has earned $907,080 in a poker tournament in 2015. Tal Avivi, a hotel owner in Peru, has bagged the WSOP Circuit rings twice in a single year (2019). Therefore, Peru remains a perfect destination for anyone willing to play online poker!
