Online poker in Latin America is expected to be worth $467.6 million a year by 2030, up from $261.6 million in 2024, according to research commissioned by Ignition Casino. The revenue projections come from Grand View Research and assume compound annual growth of 10.2%.
The same 10.2% rate is forecast for online poker worldwide, so the region’s weight in the global market does not change: Latin America stays at 6.8% of global revenue throughout the forecast period.

Search interest is rising in four markets
Alongside the revenue figures, the research tracks Google Trends scores for the word “poker” in Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Peru. In each country, interest was flat or slightly lower in 2021 and has risen every year since 2022.
Argentina shows the strongest interest, with its score climbing from 8 in 2020 to 21 in 2025. Mexico’s score more than tripled over the same period, and Chile and Peru both more than doubled.
| Year | Argentina | Mexico | Chile | Peru |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 8 | 5 | 4 | 5 |
| 2021 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| 2022 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 5 |
| 2023 | 12 | 8 | 7 | 7 |
| 2024 | 14 | 10 | 9 | 9 |
| 2025 | 21 | 16 | 14 | 12 |
Points to keep in mind
- The revenue forecast is a regional total, with no breakdown by country.
- Google Trends scores are relative, so they show the direction of interest rather than the size of each market.
- Brazil, the region’s largest regulated betting market, is not among the four countries in the search data.
- The study was commissioned by an operator. The underlying figures come from Grand View Research and Google Trends.
