Gambling self-exclusion in New Mexico

Self-exclusion in New Mexico: one of the two programs on record can enroll you. New Mexico: racetrack casinos and, with the statewide option, tribal casinos, run by the New Mexico Gaming Control Board. First step: Book an in-person appointment with the Gaming Control Board. A fixed term ends on its own at the end of the term; a lifetime term continues until a removal is granted. We hold no published route into the other one; it is named below with what it covers. None substitutes for another, and this is not everything in New Mexico.

We list what we've confirmed. If a casino isn't here, we haven't found its program yet. That doesn't mean it has none.

Before you count on it. Tribal coverage under the statewide option is an obligation on tribal agencies to run procedures, not a promise that exclusion will work at any tribal property: no source confirms enforcement at any particular casino, and the compact preserves sovereign immunity and disclaims liability if a self-excluded person is permitted to gamble. Exclusion applies to gaming floors and gaming operations, not the rest of a property. Resident and visitor eligibility is not established. The form's own instructions point to a website that could not be loaded; use gcb.nm.gov. Preparing or notarizing the form, or booking an appointment, does not confirm enrollment.

How we checked

These are the kinds of gambling we checked. The list may not include every way to gamble in the state.

New Mexico has a statewide list run by the state regulator, and it can reach tribal casinos. The form's 'Gaming Facilities Statewide' option names all racetrack casinos and tribal gaming facilities. This works through the 2015 Tribal-State compact. The state sends the list to each Tribal Gaming Agency every month, and each agency must have its casino identify and escort out people on the list, stop marketing to them, take away their winnings and look up the list before jackpots that need federal paperwork. That is a duty to follow procedures. It doesn't guarantee you'll be kept out. The same section of the compact protects the tribes from liability if a person on the list gambles or gets in anyway, and no source confirms how each casino enforces it. You sign up in person, by appointment, with a notarized form, and your photo is taken there. Mailed forms aren't accepted. The ban ends on its own when the term is up. You can come off early only by petition, after at least one year. Tribes may also run their own programs alongside the state list, and the compact protects that right. We looked at one. We haven't looked at lottery, horse racing or fantasy sports yet, so we can't say whether they have a program. Two things in the paperwork don't match. The form requires notarization, but the rule and the Board's FAQ don't mention it. The form says to leave no blanks, but the FAQ calls the Social Security number voluntary. The website the form points to wouldn't load for us. That only affects downloading a blank form, not where you send your enrollment. We checked the official sources linked on this page, not every gambling option in the state. We don't know yet whether people who live outside the state can use these programs.

How New Mexico's programs fit together

Start with the statewide list: its 'Gaming Facilities Statewide' option reaches racetrack casinos and tribal casinos, and a tribe's own program is an extra sign-up on top.

Other programs we know about, with no details yet:

  • Mescalero Apache tribal self-ban (Inn of the Mountain Gods and Casino Apache Travel Center): Inn of the Mountain Gods and Casino Apache Travel Center — a tribe-run self-ban offered alongside the statewide list, with a published application that prints no submission address or email; the recipient for a completed form is unverified and the published phone number is a contact, not a route, so this plan holds no way to send it yet We have no record of its requirements yet.
What we know about each one

The statewide option is the broad one. It already reaches tribal casinos through the compact, so a tribe's own program is an extra you can add. The compact requires tribes to follow procedures but protects them from liability if those fail, so neither list guarantees you'll be kept out. Each program listed here is a separate sign-up. Signing up for all of them still doesn't cover every way to gamble in the state.

If you also gamble outside New Mexico

State lists stop at the state line. Some casino companies' own bans reach their properties elsewhere, and each program above says what it covers. If you also travel to nearby states to gamble, check their pages too:
