Daniel Noboa<\/strong>, President of Ecuador, has re-authorized the advertising of sports betting and gambling on media networks across the Andean nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision follows President Noboa\u2019s withdrawal of specific articles of Executive Order 421, which had been imposed on Ecuador\u2019s Organic Law on Communication<\/strong> by  the former government of Guillermo Lasso Mendoza in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After taking office in January 2024, Noboa ordered a constitutional review of Ecuador\u2019s laws, which had banned land-based casinos and bingo halls since 2011, while providing no legal framework to govern online gambling activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A referendum in 2011 allowed former President Rafael Correa<\/strong> to ban land-based casinos, bookmakers, and bingo halls, a decision that opponents argue has harmed the tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although land-based gambling is banned, constitutionally there are no explicit laws prohibiting online gaming, creating ambiguity in the regulation of the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A registry for gambling and sports betting companies was established in July following the approval of the Law of Economic Efficiency and Job Creation by Ecuador\u2019s Internal Revenue Service (SRI).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SRI set rules on deadlines, sales, retention vouchers, and requirements for registering in the Single Registry of Taxpayers (RUC)<\/strong> to apply the single income tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New rules established a 15% gross revenue tax for all operators, regardless of whether the companies are based in Ecuador or offshore, together with a 15% levy on player winnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts believe that while this will stimulate economic growth, there are concerns about its impact on public welfare and addiction rates, especially among vulnerable populations. C\u00e9sar Ricaurte,<\/strong> Director of Fundamedios<\/strong>, expressed apprehension about media outlets becoming reliant on funds from gambling companies, which already dominate the advertising space, particularly in football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Noboa\u2019s administration has signalled that it remains open to further reforms, especially regarding the regulation of gambling to raise funds for Ecuadorian sports initiatives and welfare projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president\u2019s attempts to hold a national referendum to regulate the gambling sector were disrupted by civil unrest earlier in the year, but the issue is far from being resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
