1xBet lines up ‘phenomenal’ offering for Mexico following official license approval
Setting the stage for its wide-ranging and ambitious goals across Latin America, 1xBet has proudly received a full license from the Games & Lotteries Office of the Mexican Ministry of the Interior. As the company details ‘huge plans’ for the market and a strong focus on raising the status of the Mexican gaming industry, it’s clear 1xBet is serious about becoming the number one bookmaker in one of LatAm’s largest gaming markets…
The award winning online sports betting odds provider, 1xBet, has confirmed it will be driving a comprehensive expansion program in Mexico following approval to conduct operations in the country for the foreseeable future. The company will be focussing primarily on eSports, online and sports betting, thanks to its wide line of 70+ sports catering to all players, whilst also using its experience to drive the Mexican industry forward as a whole.
“We are proud to say that this is a very big step that demonstrates our ambitious goals in the Latin American market,” explained the 1xBet team after the license was agreed. “We have several successful projects implemented in Latin America, but entering the Mexican market opens up even more prospects for us. This is one of the largest countries in Latin America, which is actively developing in all sectors. Getting started there is a success for any company, even the top brands.”
As one of the world’s most recognised brands in sports betting, 1xBet believes its experience gained in other markets stands them in good stead and the company claims it will utilise ‘tried and tested methods’ to ensure customer satisfaction of the highest level as well as a series of special offers for players across the country.
“It is not everyday that one enters such a large market,” said 1xBet’s team. “Therefore we are giving particular priority to broadening our name in this emerging market whilst maintaining our brand. We can promise that in the near future you will discover a great deal about the activities of 1xBet in Mexico. But for now, we can assure future players of this – we have a lot of phenomenal things lined up for you.”
Following the approval of its Mexican gaming license, 1xBet has conducted focused R&D into which sectors take centre stage in the country’s industry. The company has highlighted it will promote a high number of offers on football and boxing – the two main sports in Mexico – as well as catering to all other players with its more than 70 sports offerings. In addition to sports betting, 1xBet will also tap into the increase in the popularity of eSports in Mexico, as well as presenting other special betting options across the region.
“Mexico is a vibrant nation of sports enthusiasts,” said 1xBet’s team. “The love of sports and victories is evident in the manner in which the public ardently supports local athletes and teams from the bottom of their hearts. Mexico is one of the centres of the emerging LatAm industry and we are pleased to start work here and support the passion of the Mexican people with our quality product. We have huge plans which were formulated after conducting a detailed examination before entering the market and we guarantee 1xBet will do everything to raise the status of Mexico in the gaming industry to an even higher level.”
1xBet has stated its first priority is to become the number one bookmaker for Mexican players and with its new license not being limited to only online activities, the company is also hard at work establishing a physical presence in the country.
“The 1xBet team adheres to its philosophy and believes that there is no universal path to success,” the team added. “Our betting company is firmly established in several dozen countries, and each experience was unique. Each market has its own specifics of work, and for us, each is an invaluable experience. Of course, we will use all our knowledge to develop the brand in Mexico, but at the same time, we will prepare something new and innovative for this region. This is the only way to win consumer loyalty and earn a positive reputation. Whether online or land-based we will be available to everyone, because our site and application are already available for Mexican users.”
Alongside Brazil, Mexico is one of the key gaming markets in Latin America in terms of revenue and serves as a barometer for the future of the industry in the region. With 1xBet’s new license, the company is keen to establish new partnerships, ambassadors and sponsorships, not just to help grow the brand’s footprint in the region, but more importantly, to raise the profile of the Mexican industry and drive the country’s market forward at this crucial time.
1xBet’s team concluded: “Mexico and Brazil are both important markets for us at this time and with our latest license we look forward to strengthening our position in Mexico as one of our main areas of focus in Latin America. Of course, when you start working in a new market, this opens up opportunities for new partnerships and sponsorships. In Mexico, there are a lot of media people, star athletes and strong teams. We are already considering sponsorship ideas with top figures in the Mexican market so stay tuned for more news coming soon!”
Backed by Grupo Silvio Santos, founded by Silvio Santos, the company aims to position itself as a platform that goes beyond traditional betting.
In an interview during BiS SiGMA South America, Fernando Justos Fischer, CEO of TQJ, detailed the company’s strategic pillars, the sector’s challenges and its long-term vision for the Brazilian market.
According to Fischer, the current moment is one of consolidation in the regulated market.
The expectation is that the sector will move toward more mature discussions, focusing on compliance, sustainability and user protection.
In this context, the event is seen as a strategic space for alignment between operators, regulators and partners, driving more structured growth.
TQJ’s strategy is based on three main pillars: strengthening brand and distribution by leveraging the group’s assets; a data-driven operation focused on efficient acquisition and sustainable retention; and responsible gaming as a core principle of the business.
All of this, according to the executive, is supported by technology and intelligence applied to the user experience.
The backing of Grupo Silvio Santos is highlighted as a key competitive advantage.
For Fischer, the combination of credibility, scale and expertise in entertainment allows TQJ to position itself as an accessible, trustworthy brand with a strong connection to the Brazilian audience.
The goal is to lead the market in trust and responsibility.
In a highly competitive environment, the company is focusing on integrating proprietary distribution, gamified experiences and the intensive use of data and artificial intelligence for personalization.
Fischer notes that competitive advantage will increasingly lie in retention, supported by advanced CRM, engagement mechanics and solid responsible gaming practices.
During the event, this positioning was also demonstrated in practice.
Bet do Milhão came to life in a live game show format, directly connecting entertainment and betting. The activation generated engagement and reinforced the company’s value proposition.
Among the main challenges in the Brazilian market, Fischer highlights the need to build a sustainable environment amid intense competition, as well as the importance of educating consumers and combating illegal operators.
He states that operators with discipline, governance and a long-term vision will have a competitive advantage.
In terms of responsible gaming, TQJ already implements tools such as deposit limits, self-exclusion, behavioral monitoring and active communication with users.
The company adopts a preventive and continuous approach that goes beyond regulatory compliance.
This monitoring is carried out through real-time behavioral analysis, enabling the identification of risk patterns and allowing for fast and precise interventions.
Fischer emphasizes that the company aims to go beyond regulatory requirements, viewing responsible gaming as both a competitive differentiator and an institutional commitment.
Artificial intelligence plays a central role in the operation. In marketing, it is used for campaign optimization, prediction and content generation.
In product, it supports the continuous evolution of the user experience. In security, it strengthens analysis and protection systems.
Additionally, AI enables deeper integration between entertainment and betting, creating more interactive and personalized experiences.
Features such as real-time personalization and gamified mechanics are already part of the company’s roadmap.
Even so, Fischer stresses that there is a clear limit when it comes to personalization: user protection. All strategies must operate within responsible parameters, without encouraging risky behavior.
In summary, the CEO defines TQJ’s role in this new phase of the market as a platform capable of connecting entertainment and betting in Brazil with responsibility, technology and trust.

Todos Querem Jogar (TQJ) entra en la nueva fase del mercado regulado brasileño apostando por la integración entre entretenimiento, tecnología y juego responsable.
Con el respaldo del Grupo Silvio Santos, fundado por Silvio Santos, la compañía busca posicionarse como una plataforma que va más allá del betting tradicional.
En entrevista durante el BiS SiGMA South America, Fernando Justos Fischer, CEO de TQJ, detalló los pilares estratégicos de la operación, los desafíos del sector y la visión de largo plazo para el mercado brasileño.
Según Fischer, el momento actual es de consolidación del mercado regulado. La expectativa es que el sector avance hacia discusiones más maduras, con foco en compliance, sostenibilidad y protección al usuario.
En este contexto, el evento se consolida como un espacio estratégico para el alineamiento entre operadores, reguladores y socios, impulsando un crecimiento más estructurado.
La estrategia de TQJ se basa en tres pilares principales: el fortalecimiento de marca y distribución, aprovechando los activos del grupo; una operación orientada a datos, con foco en adquisición eficiente y retención sostenible; y el juego responsable como principio central del negocio.
Todo esto, según el ejecutivo, está apoyado por tecnología e inteligencia aplicada a la experiencia del usuario.
El respaldo del Grupo Silvio Santos es señalado como un diferencial competitivo relevante.
Para Fischer, la combinación de credibilidad, escala y experiencia en entretenimiento permite posicionar a TQJ como una marca accesible, confiable y con fuerte conexión con el público brasileño. El objetivo es liderar el mercado en confianza y responsabilidad.
En un entorno altamente competitivo, la empresa apuesta por la integración entre distribución propia, experiencias gamificadas y el uso intensivo de datos e inteligencia artificial para la personalización.
Fischer destaca que la ventaja competitiva estará cada vez más en la retención, apoyada por CRM avanzado, mecánicas de engagement y prácticas sólidas de juego responsable.
Durante el evento, este posicionamiento también se tradujo en la práctica.
La Bet do Milhão cobró vida en formato de game show en vivo, conectando entretenimiento y betting de manera directa.
La activación generó engagement y reforzó la propuesta de valor de la compañía.
Entre los principales desafíos del mercado brasileño, Fischer destaca la construcción de un entorno sostenible en medio de una alta competencia, así como la necesidad de educar al consumidor y combatir a los operadores ilegales.
Afirma que los operadores con disciplina, gobernanza y visión de largo plazo tendrán una ventaja competitiva.
En el ámbito del juego responsable, TQJ ya implementa herramientas como límites de depósito, autoexclusión, monitoreo del comportamiento y comunicación activa con los usuarios.
La compañía adopta un enfoque preventivo y continuo que va más allá del cumplimiento regulatorio.
Este monitoreo se realiza mediante análisis comportamental en tiempo real, lo que permite identificar patrones de riesgo y realizar intervenciones rápidas y precisas.
Fischer subraya que la empresa busca ir más allá de las exigencias regulatorias, considerando el juego responsable como un diferencial competitivo y un compromiso institucional.
La inteligencia artificial desempeña un papel central en la operación. En marketing, se utiliza para optimización de campañas, predicción y generación de contenido.
En producto, contribuye a la evolución de la experiencia del usuario. En seguridad, fortalece los sistemas de análisis y protección.
Además, la IA permite profundizar la integración entre entretenimiento y betting, creando experiencias más interactivas y personalizadas.
Funcionalidades como la personalización en tiempo real y las mecánicas gamificadas forman parte del roadmap de la empresa.
Aun así, Fischer enfatiza que existe un límite claro en la personalización, la protección del usuario. Toda estrategia debe operar dentro de parámetros responsables, sin incentivar comportamientos de riesgo.
En síntesis, el CEO define el papel de TQJ en esta nueva fase del mercado como el de una plataforma capaz de conectar entretenimiento y apuestas en Brasil con responsabilidad, tecnología y confianza.
