Mexico lindo y querido. This Latin American country has 120 million inhabitants and is one of the most gambling-friendly countries to play online poker, not only because of the legal status of the game but also because it offers terrific places to develop a career like Quintana Roo (Cancun, Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen) and is incredibly cheap compared to any European country.

How do we rank the best Mexico online poker sites?

We use the following criteria:

  1. Availability. No VPN or similar is required. Just download and play.
  2. Real money deposits and withdrawals via regular e-wallets and cryptos.
  3. Decent traffic according to the timezone.
  4. Deposit bonus, rakeback, promotions

GGPoker

GGPoker took over PokerStars during WSOP Online in 2021, thanks to the massive influx of US players traveling to Mexico to play the famous series of tournaments. Hence, we can confirm this is one of the best sites to play from this Latin American country: massive traffic 24/7 across all stakes, incredible tournament series, and unique promotions for our customers.

PokerKing

Winning Poker Network remains a TOP10 network thanks to its attractive online poker tournaments grid and cash games lobby (including Limit Hold 'em tables). As its traffic focus is the United States of America, the timezone perfectly fits Mexican and ex-pats living in the country. Withdrawals can be requested to e-wallets or cryptos, and our welcome package with rakeback and goodies is the perfect reason to join.

However, let's recall all major and underground sites accept Mexicans. Hence, if you want a solution handcrafted for your needs or looking for the softest games, please do not hesitate to request a round-table service with our team.

Online poker Mexico - legal background

This is a common question across locals and the community: can I travel and play there? The answer, of course, depends, but many players have chosen this path and currently live in this Latin American country, grinding across many sites. A friendly legal background is one of many reasons.

Mexico can be considered a true paradise for online poker players. Mexican law states that players can join any site as long as they are not based in Mexico (in short, 100% of our portfolio). Thanks to this, many ex-pats choose this country to emigrate and develop their careers there.

Online poker and taxes

Please note you first need to determine your tax residency status to know where you should pay taxes (this usually depends on how many days you live in a country). If you spend more than half of the year (183 days) in Mexico, most likely, you will become liable to Mexican residents' tax.

Online poker isn't specifically taxed in Mexico, but you may be liable for taxes on personal income (from 2% to 35%). A "non-resident for Mexican tax purposes" category exists for those making over 125,900 MXN/year ($6kUSD).

However, if you play live poker, any profits are subject to taxes, about 7% depending on the state.

Our recommendation is if you plan to live in Mexico and grind for a living to reach a local accountant to clarify your situation.

Deposit and withdrawal options

Although all popular e-wallets operate in Mexico (Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz), unfortunately, cards are not sent to this country. Nevertheless, if you have a Skrill Visa Card in the US, you can use it here.

You can sell your balance to agents or withdraw directly to a Mexican bank account (if you have one), or our recommendation is to switch to cryptocurrencies; exchanges like Binance or Bitcoin have a broad market to get Mexican Pesos (MXN).

Summary
