Grupo Caliente

Grupo Caliente is the largest sports betting company in Mexico, tracing its origins to 1916 in Tijuana and the Agua Caliente racetrack. It is owned by Jorge Hank Rhon, who took over management of the racetrack in 1985 and built the group around it. Its divisions include Caliente Online, Caliente Casino, Estadio Caliente and the satellite business Globalsat, and it has operated around 200 off-track betting and bookmaking outlets across Mexico and a dozen other markets including Peru, Panama, Paraguay, Ecuador, Uruguay and the Caribbean. Its retail-first structure is characteristic of Mexican gaming, where permits are issued under a 1947 federal law that has never been comprehensively replaced, and online offerings sit under existing land-based permits rather than a dedicated regime.
