Expansion in Peru: Evoplay secures partnership with Te Apuesto

The international gambling market remains in motion as established software houses continue to extend their reach into South America. Evoplay officially announced today that the studio has entered into a comprehensive partnership with Te Apuesto. Te Apuesto is considered one of the most well-known iGaming brands in Peru, boasting a history of over 15 years. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the developer's presence in Latin America, a region becoming increasingly attractive to European companies due to progressive regulation.

The integration includes a targeted selection of titles specifically tailored to local player interests. These include games such as Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, Penalty Shoot-out: Street, and 3 Crowns: Coin Hunt. Sports-themed games like Penalty Shoot-out enjoy high popularity in Latin America, bridging the gap between classic casino entertainment and a deep-rooted passion for football. The games are characterized by distinctive themes and innovative mechanics designed to ensure high player engagement.

Numbers and facts

Te Apuesto is operated by La Tinka S.A. and possesses the largest physical retail network for gambling across Peru. This omnichannel structure allows Evoplay not only to reach online customers but also to increase brand awareness through a broad network of points of sale. The company Te Apuesto has been firmly anchored in the market for over 15 years (some reports even mention 16 years). The cooperation is part of a global growth strategy, recently underscored on 7 October 2026, by the launch of 11 titles with Spanish operator Luckia Games. In Spain, titles such as Temple of Thunder II Bonus Buy and Cat's Blessing were introduced.

"Te Apuesto has built a strong position in Peru over more than 16 years, making it an excellent partner as we continue to expand Evoplay’s reach across Latin America. Its established local presence and omnichannel approach give us a strong platform to introduce our content to more players in the market." - Alex Malchenko, Head of Sales at Evoplay

Management at Te Apuesto emphasizes that content quality is crucial for competitive advantage. Ximena Calleja, Casino Manager at Te Apuesto, stated that they are constantly looking for content that strengthens their offering and provides engaging experiences for players. Evoplay's aesthetically sophisticated games fit perfectly into their portfolio.

Background

Peru has modernized its legislation for online gambling and sports betting in recent years. This provides legal certainty for international players like Evoplay who wish to offer their software only in regulated environments. Evoplay itself has earned a reputation as an innovative studio that goes beyond classic reel games, increasingly focusing on interactive elements and gamified content. The expansion in Peru follows a clear pattern: the studio selects partners with deep market knowledge and an established loyal user base. This minimizes entry barriers in a culturally distinct market like Peru.

Why it matters for German players

For players in Germany, this news has no direct impact on daily gaming options but illustrates the global trend toward strict regulation. While Evoplay expands in Peru, providers here must comply with the strict rules of the State Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021). Anyone wishing to play slots legally in Germany should only access platforms on the whitelist of the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL). Clear protective measures apply there: a maximum stake limit of 1 Euro per round for virtual slot games and a cross-provider monthly deposit limit of 1,000 Euro. Additionally, the LUGAS system ensures these limits are monitored and prevents parallel play at multiple providers. German customers thus benefit from a significantly higher level of protection than in many Latin American markets.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

Casinos with a German license from the GGL carefully monitor which software partners they integrate. As Evoplay proves its international compliance through licenses in markets like Spain and its strengthened presence in Peru, the studio remains an interesting candidate for German operators. German-licensed casinos must ensure all games meet GGL technical requirements, such as the five-second pause between spins and the ban on autoplay functions. Partnerships in other regulated markets often serve as a seal of quality for a developer's integrity. German players can be certain that providers with MGA or Curacao licenses do not offer the same legal security and player protection as local GGL-licensed portals.
