As of 2023, online sports betting is not legal in New Mexico. The state legalized sports betting in 2019, but only in-person betting is currently permitted. There are five tribal casinos in New Mexico that offer sports betting, and you must be 21 years of age or older to place a bet.
There are a number of reasons why New Mexico has not legalized online sports betting. One reason is that the state does not want to compete with its tribal casinos. Another reason is that the state is concerned about the potential for fraud and addiction associated with online gambling.
However, there is a growing movement in New Mexico to legalize online sports betting. A number of lawmakers have introduced bills to legalize online sports betting, and there is a growing public support for the idea. It is possible that New Mexico will legalize online sports betting in the near future.
If you are interested in betting on sports in New Mexico, you can only do so in person at one of the five tribal casinos that offer sports betting. You can find more information about sports betting in New Mexico on the website of the New Mexico Gaming Control Board.
