Can I offer contests that involve push notifications in New Mexico? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided context documents, it is unclear whether contests that involve push notifications are allowed in New Mexico. However, there are requirements for conducting games of chance, such as bingo and raffles, in the state.

To conduct games of chance in New Mexico, an applicant for a bingo and raffle operator’s license must submit a proposed plan for the conduct of games of chance, which includes a description of all games of chance that the licensee will conduct for each approved occasion, the order in which games will be played, the patterns needed to win, whether the prize payout is based on sales or attendance, and the price of each type of bingo card(s) offered for sale [15.4.2.11 NMAC]. The plan must also include a payout schedule of the games of chance, the days and times of each occasion where games of chance are held, and the house rules [15.4.2.11 NMAC].

Additionally, the applicant must provide evidence of good standing with the public regulation commission, parent organization, and the attorney general’s office if applicable [15.4.2.11 NMAC]. The applicant must also provide a physical address where games of chance will be conducted, mailing and physical address of the administrative office where all documentation for games of chance are kept, and a floor plan [15.4.2.11 NMAC].

Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with the New Mexico Gaming Control Board [15.4.8.1 NMAC] to determine whether contests that involve push notifications are allowed in the state and what the requirements are.
