Gambling in Latin America - statistics and facts

The gambling market in Latin America reflects the diversity of the region, with each country possessing different legislation to regulate sports betting, lotteries, and casinos. Despite the challenges posed by such a fragmented legal framework, the gross gaming revenue (GGR) of the betting market in Latin America is predicted to increase by almost 2.5 billion U.S. dollars between 2026 and 2030. When looking at online GGR in Latin America, a December 2025 study forecast considerable growth between 2021 and 2027. This growth was mainly driven by just three countries: Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. That being said, this scenario was largely dependent on Brazil’s successful adoption of online gambling regulations that were implemented in the last decade.
