How SPEI Works
SPEI is Mexico's electronic interbank payment system, operated by Banco de Mexico since 2004. Every Mexican bank account has a CLABE (Clave Bancaria Estandarizada), an 18-digit number that identifies the bank, branch, and account. To deposit at a casino, you transfer funds to the casino's CLABE from your bank's app or website.
Unlike card payments, SPEI transfers are push payments: you initiate them, so the casino never sees your banking credentials. Settlement is fast (usually minutes) and the system runs 24/7.

Fees: Who Charges What

If you encounter fees, check whether your bank or the operator applies them, and compare with crypto options which have network fees instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SPEI and how does it work for casino deposits?
SPEI (Sistema de Pagos Electronicos Interbancarios) is Mexico's interbank transfer system run by Banco de Mexico. You send money to the casino's CLABE number (an 18-digit account identifier) from your bank app. Transfers settle in minutes and work 24/7.
How long do SPEI casino deposits take?
Typically minutes, sometimes up to a few hours during peak times. If your deposit has not arrived within 4 hours, contact support with your transfer receipt (comprobante).
Can I withdraw casino winnings via SPEI?
Yes, most casinos serving Mexico offer SPEI withdrawals to your CLABE account. Expect 1-24 hours for the casino to approve, then minutes for the actual transfer.
What is the minimum SPEI deposit at online casinos?
Typically 200-300 MXN. This is a typical range, not a guarantee - check the cashier page for exact limits.
Are there alternatives if I do not have a bank account?
Yes. OXXO cash vouchers are widely accepted at casinos serving Mexico. You get a barcode at the casino cashier, pay cash at any OXXO store, and the funds are credited. Crypto (BTC/USDT) is another option that needs no bank account.
Does SPEI charge fees for casino transfers?
Most Mexican banks do not charge for SPEI transfers. The casino should not charge you either. If you see a fee, check whether it comes from your bank or the operator.
