The Gaming Control Board lists wagering on sporting events as prohibited outside licensed horse racing and says the state does not sanction any online gambling; casino gaming exists at tribal casinos under tribal-state compacts. In-person sportsbooks at some tribal casinos could not be confirmed on an official page we were able to open (the relevant New Mexico Legislature document was blocked), so the status is unverified.
