Mexico in 2024: Committed to the cause
Mexican bettors demand localization on a different scale. An American approach to sports betting means they differ from other LatAm markets that have moved to decimal or fractional odds. As the population increasingly embraces a mobile-first approach, Altenar’s Sales Manager, Diego Salas, explores why the provider is best placed to meet the unique needs of Mexican operators in the flourishing market.
What is your view of the market at the moment and what makes it so promising?
Over the past three years, Mexican operators have experienced a significant migration from predominantly land-based, brick and mortar operations to an online-focused business model. As a result, more than 70% of sports betting revenue now comes from online customers, with internet and smartphone adoption becoming more widespread across LatAm’s second largest population. The increase in mobile penetration follows the emergence of a younger, more tech-savvy demographic with a median age of 30. They are engaging in sports betting in a more social way.
In keeping with this shift online, we entered 2024 with the release of our white-label mobile app which can be customized and places the sportsbook at its core. Approved across Apple Store and Google Play, it offers accelerated time to market, robust security and options for features such as Early Payout, Bet Builder and Player Specials. The mobile and online channels appeal to a new generation of bettors that require accessible, easy to follow sportsbook products at their fingertips. The app promises an ever-increasing number of sports and competitions with a network of official data partners delivering both quality and speed of data.
How does Mexico differ from its neighbouring markets?
Mexico is a distinct market compared to other Latin American countries and stands out due to its diverse sports culture. It is well known that soccer is the most popular sport in LatAm and at least 90% of bets still come from matches. However, in Mexico, bettors’ tastes are more diverse. Football sits among basketball, baseball, and the NFL as highly popular sports.
Unlike some of its neighbours, Mexico uses an American approach to odds, instead of the European decimal and fractional odds format. Altenar anticipated this difference by offering a flexible, localized platform to cater to specific preferences of Mexican players. Its user interface for Mexican players offers an American odds format to demonstrate provide intuitive navigation.
What will 2024 look like for Altenar in Mexico?
There can be no doubt that LatAm is a major topic of discussion in the industry. The gates are set to swing open to Brazil later in the year and Mexico itself is awaiting some regulatory updates following the legalization of online betting in 2014. As a result, Altenar acknowledges the need for boots on the ground in the continent.
We have just opened a Uruguay office to ensure we can best serve our operator partners across LatAm. We know it is important to them to access people working in the same time zone, who are integrated in their communities. The office will oversee operational aspects and instil confidence in our partners that they will have a team that is more easily accessible than other competitors.
In March and April, we will be at the IV International Gaming Convention in Mexico (12 – 14 March), SAGSE Latam in Argentina (20 – 21 March) and GAT Expo in Colombia (9 – 11 April). Our priorities at these events will be fostering our partnerships in the market and ensuring we are attuned to the regulatory developments across each country. Brazil and Chile are in the process of developing regulations and we are watching those closely, adapting accordingly. We will also be showcasing our flexible platform and features at these events, including our turnkey solution, SSBT and new tools such as Betting Insights, Bet Mentor and Bet Boost. Events are an invaluable way for us to refine our strategies moving forward and we look forward to meeting people over the next month.
Leading sportsbook provider Altenar will attend iGB L!VE London 2026 to meet with industry stakeholders and discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping one of the world’s most mature and competitive regulated gambling jurisdictions.
According to the latest data published by the UK Gambling Commission, online real-event betting generated £530 million in Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) during Q4 2025, underlining the scale of the UK’s regulated sports betting sector and the ongoing demand for high-performance sportsbook products.
Against this backdrop, operators are under increasing pressure to differentiate their offering, maximise player lifetime value, and remain fully compliant with evolving regulatory requirements.
Altenar’s sportsbook is designed to address these challenges through flexible technology, advanced trading capabilities, localisation tools, and a comprehensive suite of engagement and retention features.
The platform enables operators to launch and scale efficiently while delivering tailored betting experiences that resonate with UK audiences.
Giannis Papakonstantinou, Account Management Director at Altenar, said:
“The challenge in the UK is no longer simply entering the market. Operators need to acquire players efficiently, retain them for longer, and remain fully compliant in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment. Our role is to provide the technology, flexibility, and operational expertise that help partners achieve exactly that.
“Every operator faces different challenges, whether that’s managing multiple brands, improving sportsbook engagement, or creating stronger connections between casino and sports betting. At Altenar, we work closely with our partners to deliver solutions that support sustainable growth and long-term success.”
Altenar recently published a case study with L&L Europe, a UK-focused multi-brand operator, demonstrating how a scalable sportsbook strategy helped support rapid growth across its portfolio.
Altenar’s sales, account management, and senior leadership teams will be available at the expo. Attendees are invited to book a meeting with the Altenar team and visit stand P65 to discuss how operators can strengthen their position in today’s highly competitive UK market.

Through the agreement, Altenar will deliver a fully-integrated sportsbook experience designed specifically for omni-channel operations. The solution will be deployed across Logrand’s digital brands, jubilee.mx and vivento.mx, while also being integrated directly into the retail environments of its casino venues in cooperation with Calimaco’s platform.
The partnership will enable Logrand to offer a seamless and consistent betting experience wherever players choose to engage.

“Our players don’t separate ‘retail’ from ‘digital’ the way the industry does — they expect their casino and their sportsbook to recognise them, follow them, and behave the same way regardless of where they are sitting. This partnership with Altenar is how we deliver on that expectation. One sportsbook, one player view, one product running across jubilee.mx, vivento.mx, and our retail venues through Calimaco’s integration.
Choosing Altenar was a long-term decision. We needed a partner with the localisation depth and the technical reach to support Logrand at the scale we are planning for the next phase of growth in Mexico.”
