In 1947, the Mexican government passed the Federal Gaming and Raffles Law, which regulated land-based casinos and other forms of gambling. The law created a framework for the regulation of the gambling industry, including the licensing and supervision of casinos and other gaming establishments. In 2004, the Mexican government passed reforms to the Federal Gaming and Raffles Law that extended the scope of the law to include online gambling. The reforms established a regulatory framework for online gambling and required all online gambling operators to obtain a licence from the Mexican government. In 2007, the Mexican government further expanded the scope of the Federal Gaming and Raffles Law to include online sports betting. The reforms allowed Mexican citizens to place bets on sports events online, provided that the betting was conducted through licenced and regulated operators. Since then, the Mexican government has continued to refine and improve the regulatory framework for online gambling. In 2014, the government passed reforms to the telecommunications law that required internet service providers to block access to unauthorised online gambling sites.
The market is divided into two categories: mobile devices (phones and tablets) and desktop computers. The desktop segment has the largest market share in Mexico's online gambling market.
