Mexican legal poker background
Mexico can be considered a true paradise for online poker players. Mexican law states that players can join any poker site as long as they are not based in Mexico (in short, 100% of our portfolio). Thanks to this, many poker expats choose Mexico to emigrate and develop their careers there.
Why do poker expats choose Mexico to live?
In addition to having a friendly gambling regulation, poker expats choose Mexico to relocate for many reasons:
- It's a cheap place to live compared to any European country;
- Some places like Riviera Maya or Playa del Carmen are affordable tourist locations with pleasant weather all the year;
- There is a large poker expat community living in Mexico;
- Poker profits are not explicitly taxed.
Online poker and taxes for poker expats living in Mexico
Although Mexico charges a 7% tax on games of chance, which includes live poker profits, this doesn't apply to online poker because Internet gambling is not regulated, and there are not specific taxes for online poker profits.
This doesn't mean that Mexican residents don't have to pay any taxes. There are general local taxes that must be paid each year, what doesn't exist are specific poker taxes.
It's also important to remark that each poker expat must check their fiscal residence to pay taxes.
