The short answer
Which authorization is a platform relying on? See the New Mexico evidence and the separate access rules for McLuck and Card Crush.

Access as of November 10, 2026. Neither operator names New Mexico in its general territory exclusions. That leaves prize eligibility unconfirmed for both McLuck sweepstakes and Card Crush prize games: supplier rules and state law still apply. McLuck’s November 4 terms · Card Crush’s August 5 terms
Which authorization is a platform relying on?
The Gaming Control Board distinguishes activities that state law permits. Ask the operator to identify the permission that covers its own game. A charitable gaming authorization for someone else, or the terms for an entertainment card battle, does not identify a basis for a separate coin game paying cash awards.
If an operator claims approval, match the company, game and prize terms to the claim. For the distinctions between types of games, compare the models.
Next change: no future effective date for either model is confirmed in the sources cited here.
