The move was made via a gaming compact with the state that permits "any or all forms of Class III Gaming," a category in the federal regulations that specifically includes "any sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering."

In April 2019, Isleta Resort & Casino announced that it expected to introduce sports betting by summer 2019 with USBookmaking serving as the provider. On 12 August, the casino began accepting sports wagers.

Tribal casinos offer legal sports betting in New Mexico.
