SEGOB / DGJS — México (Ley Federal 1947, mercado USD 2.400M, IEPS en alza) — Mexico logo
SEGOB regulates iGaming in Mexico through the DGJS under the Federal Law of Games and Lotteries. Market of USD 2.4B in 2025 with Caliente as world's #1 operator. IEPS of 30% being raised to 50%.
Mexico is Latin America's second-largest iGaming market at USD 2.4-2.5 billion (2025) with 4-8 million active users. Caliente was the world's most-visited gambling website in January 2026 (65M+ visits). Regulation: Federal Law of Games and Lotteries (1947, updated 2004 for online). Regulator: SEGOB via DGJS (juegosysorteos.gob.mx). No standalone online casino license: operators must hold or partner with a SEGOB-approved physical casino license. Only Mexican-incorporated entities can apply for direct licenses. Result: sublicensing model dominates — international operators partner with licensed Mexican entities. As of September 2025: 350+ valid physical casino licenses, 30+ digital operators with .mx SEGOB licenses, ~50 additional platforms with international licenses. Sports betting 50% of market; casino 30%; other 20%. IEPS tax: 30% on GGR (Senate approved increase to 50% in 2025 for 2026 implementation). Comprehensive regulatory reform announced by SEGOB head (September 2025), expected late 2025/early 2026.
