Panama's Junta de Control de Juegos (JCJ) issues online gaming licenses valid up to 20 years with 0% tax on income generated outside Panama, establishing the country as a regional iGaming hub.
Panama is one of Latin America's most established iGaming hubs. The Junta de Control de Juegos (JCJ, jcj.gob.pa) is the national regulator. Legal framework: Law N° 32 (1977), supplemented by Resolution N° 65 (2002) for online operations and Resolution N° 11 (March 6, 2020) with updated requirements. Three license types: Online Gaming License (up to 20 years, international players); Casino License (hotel/resort-based); Sports Betting Agency License. Processing time: 2-3 months. Costs: USD 40,000 application + USD 10,000 processing + USD 20,000 annual fee. Key advantage: territorial taxation — income generated from non-Panama players is exempt from local corporate income tax; 10% GGR levy applies. AML requirements: Law 23 of 2015 (KYC, transaction monitoring, reporting to JCJ). Physical presence required (office/call center). No local server requirement.
