Key Notes for Expats in Peru

💳 Yape and Plin: Peru's two dominant mobile payment apps. Yape is owned by BCP (Banco de Crédito del Perú) and Plin is owned by BBVA/Scotiabank. Both can be set up with a foreign passport at their respective bank branches in Lima. Once you have a Peruvian bank account, these are the fastest deposit methods.
💵 PagoEfectivo: Cash payment network (similar to OXXO in Mexico). Available at thousands of agents nationwide. No bank account needed. Accepted at Betsson/Inkabet.
🏈 US Sports in Peru: All NFL, NBA, and MLB markets available at bet365 and Betsson. Lima's time zone (PET, UTC-5) is the same as Eastern time — prime time for US sports.
⚠️ 12% Income Tax on Operators: Operator-level tax (not player tax) may affect available bonuses. No player-level withholding tax currently — all your winnings are yours.
✅ Responsible Gambling. MINCETUR requires all licensed operators to offer self-exclusion and deposit limits. Use them. 18+ only.
