What foreign visitors get wrong

  • A photo of your passport is not accepted; bring the physical document.
  • Foreign bank cards are often declined for gambling charges. Carry pesos.
  • Promotional credit is for play only; you can withdraw what you win with it, not the credit itself.
  • Order your ride from inside the venue late at night rather than waiting on the street.

Cashing out, and the online alternative

At the cashier you show ID, about 7% is withheld and you get a receipt. A Mexican-licensed online platform pays to a bank account instead, with no cashier queue.
