Prediction Markets
in New Mexico
New Mexico is fully open for prediction markets: all major platforms available, no enforcement actions, and a 5.9% top income tax. Sports betting in New Mexico is limited to tribal casinos, with no statewide mobile framework, making CFTC-regulated digital platforms the primary option for online event wagering. New Mexico's large tribal gaming sector operates under a separate compact system that has no bearing on federally-regulated prediction markets.
