You Must Be 18 to Gamble in Guatemala

In Guatemala, individuals aged 18 and above can legally participate in gambling activities such as lotteries, sports betting, and casino gaming. Casinos are present in major cities, including Guatemala City, offering games like slot machines, poker, and table games. However, much of the gambling activity occurs in an unregulated environment, which may pose risks to participants.

The government does not have a centralized regulatory body for gambling, so visitors and residents are advised to exercise caution and ensure that any gambling venue they visit is operating within legal boundaries.
