Removal, Expiry, and Account Reopening

A fixed term remains in effect for the full selected period and the form says the name is removed when that period expires. A person may also file a verified written petition for removal, but the Board will not consider it until at least one year has passed. The petitioner must show that removal is in the public interest, and the Board says it will decide within 90 days.

Important Notes

Coverage follows the facilities identified in the approved request. The Board says exclusion applies to gaming operations and gaming-floor areas at those facilities. A tribal gaming authority may impose a broader property restriction. The verified materials do not establish coverage for the New Mexico Lottery, online products, unlicensed sites, or gambling outside New Mexico.
