"Due to the new regulation, starting this Thursday, February 8, our services will not be available in Peru," the statement says, also ensuring the payment of all players in the country. "We want to ensure that players' funds are safe and can be withdrawn at any time."
"Entries in tournaments that had not yet started will be refunded, and non-promotional rewards will be converted into cash and added to your accounts," the post says. In response to a follower's question, the profile also stated that "due to the new regulation and the deadlines set, we have decided not to apply for a license."
The new regulation mentioned is Law No. 31.557, which was passed last October and regulates the exploitation of online gaming and sports betting. Sites wishing to operate in the country now need a license from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism.
Also in response to a follower's question, the PokerStars LATAM profile stated: "At the moment, there are no plans to return to this market, but we will inform of any news or changes in the situation."
