Legal situation in Mexico

Gambling in Mexico rests on the Federal Law on Games and Draws, published on 31 December 1947 and never amended. The law starts from a general ban on games of chance and games with bets. It then lets the Ministry of the Interior (Secretaría de Gobernación, SEGOB) regulate, authorise and supervise betting games and draws, apart from the National Lottery. No establishment may run games with bets or draws without a SEGOB permit. The 1947 law does not mention the internet. A 2004 regulation also does not mention digital platforms, so trade reports describe the legal framework for online gaming as unclear.

In practice, online gaming and betting are offered by companies that hold SEGOB permits, and SEGOB is the only authority that can grant them. According to the federal audit office, as reported by trade press, 36 permit holders held 51 permits covering 422 establishments at the end of 2023. No complete public register of authorised online platforms exists. In May 2026 a member of Congress asked SEGOB to publish one.

Online casino and betting sites are offered legally only by companies holding a SEGOB permit; the 1947 law does not expressly address online play.

Before opening an account, ask the operator for its SEGOB permit number and check it with the Dirección General de Juegos y Sorteos. Sites without a Mexican permit fall outside SEGOB supervision.
