Online bingo is legal in Mexico and explicitly permitted under the Federal Gaming and Raffles Law and its 2004 Regulation, which specifically includes "bingo (raffle number games)" as an authorized form of online gambling (1). Licensed operators can provide online bingo services to Mexican players through SEGOB-approved platforms that comply with strict regulatory requirements including player age verification, responsible gambling safeguards, and anti-money laundering compliance (2). Mexico's regulatory framework establishes a tiered licensing structure where operators must either hold a master license directly from SEGOB or operate under sublicense from an existing master license holder.
Online bingo operators in Mexico must obtain licenses from SEGOB and establish partnerships with licensed land-based casino operators to expand their online offerings (1). Operators face taxation at 30 percent on gross gaming revenue for online bingo operations, with strict advertising standards requiring clear license disclosures, responsible gambling messaging, and age restriction warnings in all promotional materials (2). Compliance requirements include implementing robust anti-money laundering systems, Know-Your-Customer procedures, data protection measures, and cooperation with the National Commission for Combating Addictions (CONADIC).
"Mexico allows a variety of gambling operations, both online and offline, with players legally participating in casinos, sports betting, lottery and raffle games, and bingo (raffle number games). Licensed operators must comply with strict regulatory requirements for player protection, anti-money laundering, and responsible gambling promotion."
Players in Mexico can legally access licensed online bingo platforms without facing legal consequences, benefiting from consumer protections, fair gaming standards, and regulatory oversight (1). Recent government proposals aim to modernize Mexico's gambling laws, increase tax rates on gaming revenue from 30 to 50 percent, and strengthen enforcement against illegal operators ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup (2). Until additional reforms take effect, online bingo remains fully legal and regulated, providing Mexican players with transparent, protected gaming experiences through licensed platforms overseen by SEGOB's General Directorate of Games and Raffles.
