Mexico Proposes Sweeping Gambling Law Reform to Enter Digital Era
Mexico is set to modernise its gambling laws with a major reform proposal. The current regulations, dating back to 1947, no longer reflect today's digital and online gaming environment. Labour Party member Ricardo Mejía has introduced the bill to update the outdated framework. The proposed law would replace Mexico's 1947 Federal Gambling and Lotteries Law. It introduces stricter measures, including a 21+ age limit for all gambling activities. Players would also gain access to self-exclusion programmes to help combat addiction.
A new National Institute of Games and Lotteries would take charge of licensing and enforcement. Each operator could hold only one licence per establishment, ensuring fair competition. The bill also requires operators to display clear risk warnings and enforce deposit limits for players. The reform draws inspiration from international models, such as those in Brazil and the United States. Its goal is to foster industry growth while prioritising social responsibility and player protection.
If passed, the new law would bring Mexico's gambling regulations into the digital age. Operators would face stricter oversight, and players would receive stronger safeguards. The proposal now awaits further debate before becoming law.
