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!”

Novusbet and TeApuesto scale omnichannel betting in Peru with 1,300-shop network
Novusbet and Peruvian operator TeApuesto are expanding a large-scale omnichannel betting operation in Peru, Novusbet said on 11 June 2026 in a release from Nicosia, Cyprus. The supplier said the deployment links a retail network of more than 1,300 shops—each with at least two terminals—to online, mobile, self-service terminals and back-office operations.
Novusbet said the TeApuesto operation processes more than 3 million sports and virtual tickets every month. The company positioned the project as an example of growing convergence between retail and digital betting in Peru, where shops remain central but customer expectations are shifting toward faster access, mobile use and digital payment options.
According to Novusbet, the focus is “not only about allowing players to access the same brand through different channels” but “creating continuity across the full player journey: from registration and betting activity to payments, ticket management, account interaction, information access and customer support.”
The company also pointed to local payment habits as a driver for product development, citing mobile money transfer services Yape and Plin as widely used in Peru. Novusbet said it has enhanced self-service and “omniconnected solutions” with payment options aligned with local usage patterns.
Novusbet said it will exhibit at Peru Gaming Show 2026 on June 17–18 at the Centro de Exposiciones Jockey in Lima.

Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming Appoints Carlos Lima as its New Executive President
The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has appointed Carlos Lima as its new Executive President. With extensive experience in Government Relations, Advocacy, and public policy development, the executive takes the helm of the organization at a pivotal moment for the consolidation of Brazil’s regulated fixed-odds betting and online gaming market.
As head of the Institute, Carlos Lima will be responsible for strengthening technical and institutional dialogue with the Federal Government, the National Congress, regulatory authorities, and civil society. His work will focus on improving the regulated environment and promoting the value of authorized operators that conduct their activities in compliance with Brazilian law.
“The maturation of Brazil’s betting market requires an approach grounded in data, transparency, governance, and legal certainty. The regulated environment is the most effective tool for ensuring consumer protection, preserving the integrity of the sector, and fostering its sustainable development,” said Carlos Lima.
According to the new Executive President, regulation represents a fundamental milestone in distinguishing authorized and supervised operators from illegal platforms that operate outside the law.
“Regulation serves as a seal of security for consumers and a benefit to society as a whole. By establishing clear rules, user protection mechanisms, and responsible gaming policies, it reduces the social and economic costs associated with the illegal market. Strengthening the regulated market means protecting citizens, creating jobs, attracting investment, and increasing public revenues,” he added.
Throughout his professional career, Carlos Lima has led strategic initiatives related to institutional relations, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and sector-specific regulation in industries of significant economic and social relevance. His experience includes fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors on complex issues, always with a focus on building regulatory environments that are more transparent, predictable, and sustainable.
André Gelfi, co-founder of IBJR and one of the leading figures behind the regulatory process for the sector in Brazil, will continue to support the organization as a Board Member and Director. In this role, he will contribute to the continuity of the Institute’s institutional agenda and to the strengthening of the regulated market alongside the other members of the board.
Founded to promote a safe, responsible betting market aligned with international best practices, IBJR brings together some of the leading companies authorized to operate in Brazil. The Institute remains committed to safeguarding industry integrity, protecting consumers, and supporting the sustainable development of the sector across the country.
