Mexico does not require platforms to be certified or licensed by a national regulator. There is no formal approval process for platforms or technical providers, as the regulatory framework for online gambling is not yet fully developed at the federal level.
However, if you want to offer your platform to locally authorized operators, it must meet certain operational and fiscal requirements, particularly regarding tax withholding mechanisms.
✅ Key consideration: tax withholding
Under Mexican law, licensed operators are required to withhold taxes from players, and they can choose between two models:
- Tax withholding per wager
- Tax withholding at the point of withdrawal
The operator decides which approach to follow, and your platform must be technically capable of implementing either method, depending on your client’s needs.
