01 · The site
Licensed properly, and still gone in seven months
Peru brought in a proper licensing system for online betting. The system is run by its trade and tourism ministry, Mincetur. Jugabet went through it. The licence was granted on 23 May 2024 to Amazul Peru S.A.C. The site opened for business in August 2024.
This matters. It makes Jugabet the opposite of most records on this site. This was not a nameless offshore operation. It was a company that applied to a government. It was checked, approved and listed.
Coverage of the launch connected the brand to an international betting group called Growe. Its Latin American manager spoke for it publicly. We could not find a company document proving that link. So we record it as reported rather than established.
Seven months is a very short life for a business. This business went to the trouble of getting a licence. Applying for one costs real money and takes real time. Nobody does that intending to stop before the first year is out.
02 · The shutdown
Stopped in two steps, explained in none
The wind-down was done in two clean steps. On 24 February 2025 the site stopped accepting new sign-ups and stopped taking deposits. On 3 March 2025 it closed completely.
That gave existing players a week. In that week they could still use and withdraw what they already had. They could not put more money in. That is a sensible way to close a site. It is more thought than most operators manage.
What is missing is any reason. Peruvian coverage of the closure states this directly. The company withdrew from the market without saying why. There was no regulator action, no fine and no order. Mincetur did not push it out.
So here is the honest summary. A licensed operator opened. It spent seven months trying. It decided the business was not working and left quietly. That happens in every regulated market that has just opened. Peru had only just opened.
03 · The money
The notice is still there, and it still gives an address
Balances and bonuses stayed usable and withdrawable up to the closing date of 3 March 2025.
More than eighteen months later the site is still up and still explains itself. Loading it today gives a short Spanish notice. The notice says the site is closed. It also tells anyone whose remaining balance was larger than the withdrawal limit to contact support by email.
Leaving a working notice and a contact route up for a year and a half after closing is unusual. It counts in the operator favour. Almost every site in this archive has either vanished or been sold to a domain trader.
One comment attached to the Peruvian coverage alleges a player was not paid. It is a single unverified comment. It has no detail and no follow-up. We are not going to build a judgement on it. We grade the money outcome as unproven rather than owed.
Anyone still holding a Jugabet balance has a real route. That is rare. The operator was licensed by Mincetur. That means a complaint can be taken to the ministry. The closure notice itself gives a support address to write to first.
04 · The receipts
How we verified this record
Every claim on this page is graded by how firmly we could check it. Confirmed means we saw it in the operator’s own notice. Or we saw it in a document that cannot easily be faked. Observed means we saw it ourselves. We saw it on the live site or domain, on the date given. Unconfirmed means it has been reported but we could not prove it.
05 · The questions
Jugabet Peru – the questions still open
Q. When did Jugabet close?
It stopped taking sign-ups and deposits on 24 February 2025 and closed completely on 3 March 2025.
Q. Why did it close?
No reason was ever given. Peruvian coverage says the company left the market without explaining why.
Q. Was it a legal site?
Yes. It held a licence from Mincetur, the Peruvian ministry that regulates betting, granted on 23 May 2024.
Q. Was it shut down by the regulator?
No. There was no fine, order or investigation. It was the company own decision.
Q. Can I still get my balance?
The closure notice is still on the site and still gives a support email for anyone whose balance was above the withdrawal limit. It is worth writing to that address.
Q. Who do I complain to?
Mincetur licensed the operator, so a Peruvian player can take an unpaid balance complaint to the ministry.
