States With Legal Sports Betting: Current Status of All 50 States

Legal online sports betting is available in 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, as additional states legalize betting each year. That’s right, the list of states with legal sports betting is about to grow.

Massachusetts and Ohio joined the roster of states with legal sports betting most recently in early 2023. Kentucky will fully launch this year with retail betting going live on Sept. 7, 2023 and online wagering set to go live on Sept. 28. North Carolina, and Vermont appear poised to become the next states to launch online sports betting apps.

Where is Sports Betting Legal in the US?

We break down the current status of states where sports betting is legal — and where it isn’t. Click on the state name to visit our in-depth review of online and in-person betting availability for that particular market.

Alabama

The Alabama House of Representatives passed legislation in April 2021 that would allow voters in the state to decide whether or not sports betting, along with a lottery and other gambling options, could be legal. 

The measure made its way to the Alabama Senate where it approved Senate Bills 310 and 319, permitting a referendum on the 2022 ballot. Unfortunately, the Alabama House failed to take up the sports betting legislation before the session ended at the end of May. 

• Status of Legislation: Failed to pass both chambers
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: No chance
• When Legal Sports Betting Could Launch: 2024 at the earliest

Alaska

Alaska’s two Class II tribal casinos have a $3.7 annual economic impact on the state with a $350,500 tax impact. Attempts to draw in additional revenue through sports betting have failed, most recently in 2020.

• Status of Legislation: None
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: Low 
• When Legal Sports Betting Could Launch: Uncertain

Arizona

Arizona legalized sports betting under a 2021 state law signed on April 15 and officially launched sportsbooks on Sept. 9, 2021.

Twenty sports betting licenses are available under the Arizona sports betting rules. Half of the licenses were awarded to professional sports stadiums, PGA Tour host sites, and other approved sites located off Arizona’s tribal reservations. The other half were awarded to Arizona tribes for mobile sports betting. Tribes are also allowed to offer retail sports betting on their lands under the Arizona Gaming Compact.

Arizona sports betting – defined as “event wagering” under Arizona law – include but is not limited to single-game bets, teaser bets, parlays, totals (Over/Under) bets, moneyline bets, pools, exchange wagering, in-game wagering, in-play bets, prop bets, and straight bets. Wagers are prohibited on injuries, penalties, collegiate prop bets, and high school events.

• Status Of Legislation: Signed into law on April 15, 2021
• Legal Sports Betting Launch: Sept. 9, 2021
• 2022 Sports Betting Handle: $6.04 billion

Arkansas

Arkansas opened its first retail sportsbook in 2019 after voters approved a constitutional amendment legalizing sports betting and casino games in November 2018. Gross gaming revenues from retail betting — including sports wagers — reached over $614 million in 2022. Sports betting is limited to casino premises.   

• Online Sportsbook Apps: No
• Retail Sportsbooks: Yes
• Legal Online Casinos: No
• Year Launched: 2019
• 2022 Sports Betting Handle: $185.8 million

California

In November 2022, California voted against legalizing sports betting at tribal casinos and select racetracks under a multi-million-dollar ballot initiative organized by several tribal nations. The initiative became ballot-eligible in May 2021 when organizers collected more than the number of valid signatures required to put the issue to a statewide vote.

If approved by voters, the combined initiated constitutional amendment and state statute would have legalized sports betting at tribal casinos and in-person sportsbooks at select privately-operated racetracks. The federal approval of an amended tribal-state gaming compact governing sports betting on tribal lands would have also been required before tribal casinos could launch sportsbooks.

• Status of Legislation: Eligible For 2023 Ballot 
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: Low
• When Legal Sports Betting Could Launch: Uncertain

Colorado

Legal sports betting at casinos, retail sportsbooks, and mobile apps was launched in Colorado in May 2020 after licensed commercial casinos were authorized to offer sports betting by the 2019 Colorado state legislature. 

• Online Sportsbook Apps: Yes
• Retail Sportsbooks: Yes
• Legal Online Casinos: No
• Year Launched: 2020
• 2022 Sports Betting Handle: $5.18 billion

Connecticut

Sports betting launched in Connecticut on Oct. 19, 2021, after the state legislature passed sports betting legislation in May. It allowed for the two tribal casinos in the state to operate their own sportsbooks, as well as various retail establishments throughout the state. Foxwoods Casino partnered with DraftKings and Mohegan Sun partnered with FanDuel. The Connecticut Lottery announced a partnership with BetRivers Sportsbook. These sportsbooks are now live in the state.

• Online Sportsbook Apps: No
• Retail Sportsbooks: Yes
• Legal Online Casinos: Yes
• Year Launched: 2018

Florida

Florida took steps toward legal sports betting in 2021 when both the Florida Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed off in May on an amended tribal gaming compact to allow the Seminole Tribe of Florida to run sportsbooks in the state.

Sports betting was launched for a brief period until a federal judge ruled the compact went against Florida gambling laws. Hard Rock Bet, which is operated and predominantly owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, had launched its mobile betting app in the state, but then suspended taking bets. There was hope a Florida sports betting relaunch could happen by Sept. 19, 2023 after the United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit on Monday denied West Flagler Associates‘ request for an en banc appeal of their unfavorable ruling against the Department of the Interior in June. However, that stalled after the Orlando Sentinel reported that the owners of two Florida pari-mutuels plan to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on whether a multibillion-dollar deal giving the Seminole Tribe control of sports betting throughout the state violates federal law.

• Status of Legislation: Law, with amended tribal-state gaming compact pending federal approval
• When Legal Sports Betting Could Launch: Possible by Sept. 19, 2023

Georgia

Sports betting in Georgia likely won’t be legal until at least 2025.

Bipartisan advocates had hoped 2022 would be the year to get legislation approved. Republicans control both chambers and hold the governor’s mansion. While some are opposed to increased gambling opportunities, the majority do support it as a source of revenue growth and economic development.

The Georgia General Assembly adjourned on April 4, 2022, without passing legal sports betting legislation.

• Status of Legislation: Dead
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: Dead until 2023
• When Legal Sports Betting Could Launch: 2025

• Status of Legislation: Dead 
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: Low
• When Could Legal Sports Betting Launch: TBD

Idaho

Idaho has no sports betting legislation pending action in the 2021 state legislature. The likelihood that there will be sportsbooks launched in the state is slim. Gaming is legal, however, at Idaho’s tribal casinos through pari-mutuel wagering, the state lottery, bingo, and raffles.

• Status of Legislation: None
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: Low
• When Could Legal Sports Betting Launch: Uncertain

Sports betting in Kansas finally joined the list of live states with sports betting on September 1, 2022!

The Kansas State Senate passed a bill to permit in-state casinos to operate sports betting apps, but the Kansas House wanted to expand sports betting to smaller licensees, including lottery operators. 

Available now, Kansas has legal mobile and retail sports betting. After the bill was passed, all it took to go into effect was a signature from the Governor. Sports betting in the state will be overseen by the Kansas Lottery and the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission.

• Online Sports Betting Apps: Yes
• Retail Sportbooks: Yes
• Status of Legislation: Live

Maine sports betting is legal but there is still not a hard deadline on the start date. Gov.

• Status of Legislation: Approved

Maryland

Maryland will put 100 or so sports betting licenses up for grabs under a state law signed by Governor Larry Hogan in May. Sports betting was legalized right before Thanksgiving 2022.

Here is how the 100+ licenses were allocated, according to the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency:

• 17 licenses were issued to professional sports stadiums, casinos, horse racing tracks, off-track betting facilities and bingo halls with at least 200 electronic instant bingo machines;
• 30 licenses will be set aside for smaller OTBs, bars, and restaurants;
• 60 mobile/online licenses will be issued.

Maryland bettors were anticipating a launch for months before the sudden launch of sports betting apps. Many were hopeful for a 2022 launch for good reason, as the state came through in the clutch right before Thanksgiving Day 2022.

Minnesota’s support for live sports betting increased in 2023 but there are more hurdles to clear. A Minnesota sports betting bill passed through the House in May 2022.

However, Minnesota’s state legislators and tribal gaming operators don’t yet agree on how to approach sports betting, so there’s no telling how the Senate will receive it in its current form. 

• Status of Legislation: Pending
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: Low
• When Could Legal Sports Betting Launch: 2024

Mississippi

Mississippi was the third state to legalize sports betting after SCOTUS struck down a federal ban on state sports wagering regulation in 2018.

• Online Sportsbook Apps: No
• Retail Sportsbooks: Yes
• Legal Online Casinos: No
• Year Launched: 2018

• Status of Legislation: Passed
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: Passed (Retail Only)
• When Could Legal Sports Betting Launch: Summer 2023

Nevada

Nevada’s full menu of legal sports wagering makes it a formidable competitor, but mobile sports betting could be its kryptonite. There are indications that legal sports betting in other states is cutting into Nevada’s market share. Still, with a commercial sports-betting handle of over $8 billion in 2021, Nevada doesn’t have too much to worry about.

Sports betting won’t be coming to North Dakota anytime soon. In March the state Senate narrowly voted down House Resolution 3032 which would have put the issue before voters in 2022.

• Status Of Legislation: Failed
• Chance of Legal Sports Betting Passing: Slim to None
• When Could Legal Sports Betting Launch: 2023

Ohio

Governor Mike DeWine made clear he wanted legislation to pass in 2021, but it took until January 2022 to cross the threshold.  The Governor signed Ohio HB 29 into law to legalize betting on professional sports, college sports, and esports. 

On January 1, 2023, Ohio sports betting was legalized and launched!

• Online Sports Betting Apps: Yes
• Retail Sportsbooks: Yes

Oklahoma

Tribal-state relations will likely dictate when, and if, legal sports betting comes to Oklahoma. The future of sportsbooks in the state remains uncertain after relations between the state and its tribal nations took a recent downturn amid tribal gaming compact lawsuits. The state lost a major battle last year when a federal court allowed the renewal of existing tribal compacts for 15 years. Sports betting will likely be on hold until state-tribal relations thaw.

Texas

Once thought to be a state that had zero chance of legalizing sports betting, Texas has shown more interest in 2023 in joining the explosion of sports betting. 

Sportsbooks, pro teams, and even retired athletes have lobbied the state hard to push for the referendum, but in 2021, the legislative session came to a close without any resolution or movement.

With elections coming to Texas next year, there’s renewed interest in the topic of Texas sports betting.

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises in 2021 was the passage of sports betting legislation in Wyoming. Sports betting is now live in the state. It launched on September 1, and DraftKings and BetMGM were the first to go live. The state expects more sportsbook apps to launch in the future.

Canada

Single-event sports betting has arrived in Canada aka the Great White North. Ontario sports betting is now live. The move comes after legislation to end the prohibition on single-event sports wagering in Canada cleared Parliament in 2021. Royal assent (approval) of the legislation was granted on June 29, 2021, allowing legal sports betting end-to-end. Individual provinces can pass their own laws that create a regulatory framework for the operation of single-event sports betting. So far, BetMGM Ontario, BetRiver Ontario, and Caesars Sportsbook Ontario are among the top betting apps live in the province.
