  • KansasConditional

    Kansas exempts qualifying traditional daily fantasy sports but does not affirmatively license it. K.S.A. 21-6403 excludes a qualifying fantasy sports league from the definition of a bet but sets no minimum age, and no Kansas statute fixes one, so operators set their own - check the operator's terms. In 2023 the KRGC sent cease-and-desist letters to six "pick'em" operators.

  • New MexicoConditional

    New Mexico has no law authorizing daily fantasy sports and the legal status is unsettled. In Attorney General Opinion 2025-17 (December 23, 2025), issued at the Gaming Control Board's request, the AG said he cannot categorically conclude that online DFS contests are legal under current New Mexico law, and that whether a given contest is skill or chance is a fact question he cannot resolve. Major DFS apps operate in the state; the AG has asked the Legislature to settle it.
