NMGCB Public Service Announcement: Tips for Safe and Responsible Gaming

ALBUQUERQUE – The New Mexico Gaming Control Board (NMGCB) urges residents to refrain from participating in any online gaming activities. Online real-money gambling—including online casinos, poker, sweepstakes casinos, and sports betting—is illegal in New Mexico. Despite this, advertisements for online casinos and gaming platforms continue to proliferate on social media, where scammers target unsuspecting individuals to steal personal information and financial assets. By staying vigilant and informed, New Mexicans can better protect themselves from fraud and identity theft.

Illegal online casinos often present themselves as legitimate platforms, exploiting players by offering unlawful gaming services. However, these operations are neither legal nor regulated in New Mexico, leaving users vulnerable to fraud, identity theft, and other serious risks. Because they operate outside of state regulation, the NMGCB is unable to resolve complaints or disputes arising from illegal gaming sites, leaving victims with little to no chance of recovering lost funds.

The Dangers of Illegal Online Casinos

Fraudulent online casinos often mimic reputable platforms, using familiar branding, flashy advertisements, and enticing promotions to lure victims. These unregulated operations leave participants vulnerable to:

  • Financial loss through fake gaming platforms or fraudulent prize fees.
  • Identity theft resulting from sharing personal or financial information with illegitimate sites.
  • False claims of unpaid taxes or fees tied to supposed sweepstakes or casino “winnings.”
How to Protect Yourself
  • Know the law: Online gambling is illegal in New Mexico, including online raffles and bingo.
  • Be skeptical of advertisements or promotions promising guaranteed wins or no-risk gaming.
  • Avoid sharing personal or financial information with unverified sources.
  • Verify legitimacy: Just because you can download an app or visit a website does not mean it is legal or regulated in New Mexico.
  • Seek legal operators: Engage only with licensed casinos operating in New Mexico for legal, regulated, and safe gaming opportunities.
What to Do If You Encounter Fraud or Identity Theft

If you believe a fraudulent online casino has targeted you or someone you know:

File a consumer complaint with the New Mexico Department of Justice’s Office:

If you suspect identity theft, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC):
Report Illegal Gambling

To report illegal or suspicious gambling activity, contact the NMGCB on our anonymous tip line at (505) 841-9777 or by clicking here.
