Market Notes

  • Handle and growth: No comprehensive statewide public handle data is reported. Sports betting remains limited to a small number of tribal casinos. The market stays very small compared to neighboring states, with estimated annual handle in the low hundreds of millions at most. No mobile component exists.
  • Market split: 100% retail at approximately 5–6 tribal casino sportsbooks (e.g., Santa Ana Star, Isleta Resort & Casino, Inn of the Mountain Gods, Route 66 Casino). No statewide online or mobile sports betting is available.
  • Hold and tax: No public hold data available. Tribes retain all sports betting revenue under their gaming compacts. The state collects no direct tax or revenue share specifically from sports wagering.
  • Regulatory note: Sports betting operates exclusively under tribal Class III gaming compacts with no statewide framework. Efforts to add mobile sports betting have not advanced. Tribes are actively fighting unregulated prediction markets (e.g., lawsuits against Kalshi in 2026) to protect their revenue. Enforcement targets illegal offshore operators. No major changes are expected in the near term.
