Latest 2023 Development of the Mexico Gambling Market

Mexico gambling market has seen a significant increase in the number of land-based casinos in recent years, particularly in the popular tourist destinations of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Los Cabos. This has led to increased competition among casino operators and a rise in revenue for the Mexico gambling industry. Additionally, Mexico introduced new regulations for online gambling, aimed at increasing consumer protection and reducing the risk of money laundering. The new regulations require all online gambling operators to obtain a license from the Mexican Gaming Commission (SEGOB) and comply with strict reporting and auditing requirements. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend towards online gambling in Mexico, as more people have turned to online gaming as a form of entertainment while staying at home. This has led to increased investment in online gambling by both domestic and international operators.

The sports betting market had been expanding in Mexico, with many operators seeking to tap into the growing interest in major international sporting events. In particular, the popularity of soccer had been driving much of the growth in this sector. Moreover, the land-based casino sector had also been growing in Mexico, with a number of new facilities opening up in recent years. This has been driven by a combination of factors, including increasing tourism, a growing middle class with disposable income, and the relaxation of regulations around casino construction. These factors will further enhance the market share of the players.
