Casinos in Ecuador: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Regulation
Ecuador still has no land-based casinos: gaming venues were closed after the 2011 referendum, and attempts to bring them back have failed — in September 2025 the Constitutional Court struck the question on casinos in five-star hotels from the national ballot. The online segment developed differently: since July 2024 a single 15% income tax has applied to sports-forecasting operators, and those companies must register with the Internal Revenue Service (SRI). There is still no full licensing system for online casinos and no dedicated gambling regulator. The currency is the US dollar; cards, bank transfers and e-wallets are common. Player winnings are taxed at 15%, withheld by the operator. The market is in a transitional state, so it makes sense to check whether an operator appears on the SRI register before playing.
