Sports Betting in Mexico
Sports betting in Mexico is legal, and has been for some time. It has only been during the last few years, however, that Mexico's sportsbook industry has become regulated and organized. Much of the sports betting that took place in the country prior to the late 1990s was though illegal, underground bookies. Today, the largest bookmaker in Mexico is Caliente, which runs about 50 betting shops across the country. Their Tijuana parlor is especially popular with American clients who cross the border to place bets. In fact, American business makes up about 15% of Caliente's profits.
