Guatemala lacks specific legislation governing online casinos, so local players freely use international platforms licensed in Curacao, Malta or Gibraltar.
The state does not yet control this sector, but initiatives to introduce licensing and taxation of online gambling are being discussed.
The popularity of online casinos is growing due to the widespread use of mobile devices and the availability of payment systems.
In the future, Guatemala may become one of the centers of legal online gambling in Central America, subject to the adoption of modern regulations.
