MEGA 2026 Gathers Industry Leaders to Discuss the Mexican Gambling Sphere

Main Highlight of the Agenda: Legislative Reforms

The conference will include presentations by legislators and associates of AIEJA, an entity that brings together licensees, operators, and suppliers. They will share their proposals to reform the outdated Federal Gaming and Lottery Law of 1947.

The overhaul is aimed at establishing a contemporary oversight system focused on:

• transparency;
• responsibility;
• customer security.

If implemented, it will create a new regulatory authority to supervise all legal activities within the country's entertainment sector. The body will be called the National Institute of Games and Raffles.

Mexico has the potential to emerge as a premier market in Latin America, supported by its:

• advanced infrastructure;
• strong consumer demand;
• significant land-based expertise that can be effectively leveraged online.

Margarita Cruz, Diamond28 Consulting LTD’s Founder and Director, who also serves as the event’s Chairperson, observed that the local sphere is shifting from uncontrolled expansion to more organised, accountable oversight. She stated that global industry trends point to the need for fresh approaches to strategy and competition.

Ms Cruz is prepared to offer practical advice to local companies on how to adapt in the long run to legal standards, scalable operating systems, and market culture. The executive emphasises that the most promising opportunities will open up to those who deliberately innovate and cultivate secure, trusting relationships with both the audience and the authorities.
