United States Sports Betting

Posted on  by admin

Sports betting followed in 2018, with New Jersey again leading the way. Why are so many states legalizing sports betting now? After years of being relegated to mainly Nevada (and the black market), legal online sports betting is now growing quickly throughout the United States. See full list on espn.com. Sports Betting United States understands that a big part of the reason so many people bet on sports is that there are so many options available. For instance, a gambler doesn’t have to be stuck with betting on a straight even-money favorite via a sportsbook’s in-house odds.

After New Jersey's Supreme Court victory in May 2018, any state that wishes can legalize sports betting.

At the same time various state lawmakers are considering sports betting legislation, Congress is too. Senators Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and now-retired Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, co-introduced comprehensive sports betting legislation at the end of 2018. On Sept. 27, 2018 the House Judiciary Committee held a formal hearing on the topic.

The dual track of proposals -- state and federal -- have increased in frequency since the start of 2017.

To measure the change in the landscape, we ranked all 50 states and the District of Columbia in terms of how likely it is for each jurisdiction to offer full-scale legal sports betting. A brief synopsis for the active states is included, with updates to follow.

Already there

1. Nevada

No longer the only state to permit a wide variety of legal sports betting, Nevada is a mature market that has existed for decades. Given its long history in successfully offering regulated sports wagering, many states might look to Nevada for best practices.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 223
Population: 3,034,392 (2,246,259 21+)

2. Delaware

On June 5, 2018, Delaware moved to offer single-game betting on a number of different sports at three casinos in the state. Expanded sports wagering options could take place at additional locations or online. Delaware's authorization of what Gov. John Carney described as 'a full-scale sports gaming operation' happened less than a month after the Supreme Court ruled that the federal law restricting single-game betting to Nevada was unconstitutional.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 3
Population: 967,171 (726,161 21+)

3. New Jersey

On June 11, 2018, Gov. Phil Murphy signed the sports betting bill that had passed the previous week. A William Hill sportsbook at Monmouth Park took the first bets on Thursday, June 14 at 10:30 a.m. ET. Gov. Murphy was the first customer in line. The Borgata in Atlantic City booked sports bets 30 minutes later. Other sportsbooks in New Jersey opened soon thereafter. For example, FanDuel's first sportsbook at the Meadowlands opened its doors on July 14.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams and collegiate events held within the state
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 9
Population: 8,908,520 (6,634,683 21+)

4. Mississippi

Two casinos owned by MGM Resorts booked their first sports bets in Mississippi on Aug. 1, 2018. Mississippi enacted a new law in 2017 that allowed for sports betting pending a favorable decision by the Supreme Court. In June 2018, the Mississippi Gaming Commission adopted implementing regulations that require all betting to take place in person, with mobile wagering to be considered later.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 29
Population: 2,986,530 (2,153,795 21+)

5. West Virginia

On Aug. 30, 2018, West Virginia became the fifth state to offer legal and regulated sports betting when the Hollywood Casino -- a sportsbook owned by Penn National -- opened its doors. The move came six months after the West Virginia legislature passed a new bill with the West Virginia Lottery Commission serving as the chief regulator.

Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 5
Population: 1,805,832 (1,375,788 21+)

6. New Mexico

On Oct. 16, 2018, the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel booked its first sports bet in partnership with Nevada-based USBookmaking. Although New Mexico has not passed any new sports betting legislation since the Supreme Court's decision, the move by the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel was made via a gaming compact with the state. According to Nedra Darling, spokeswoman at the Department of the Interior's Office of Indian Affairs -- the federal agency in Washington, DC that oversees tribal gaming compacts -- the New Mexico compacts permit 'any or all forms of Class III Gaming,' a category in the federal regulations that specifically includes '[a]ny sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering.'

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 32
Population: 2,095,428 (1,529,540 21+)

7. Pennsylvania

The Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course booked the first legal sports bets in Pennsylvania in mid-November 2018. The move came just over a year after Gov. Tom Wolf signed a new sports betting bill as part of a broad legislation push that included online poker and DFS. The October 2017 bill became effective after the Supreme Court's May 2018 ruling upending the federal ban on single-game betting outside of Nevada.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 12
Population: 12,807,060 (9,645,705 21+)

8. Rhode Island

The Twin River Casino in Lincoln opened its doors for legal sports betting on Nov. 26, 2018. The move came five months after Gov. Gina Raimondo signed the state budget, which included language allowing sports betting. Only two locations would be allowed to offer sports betting under the law, with the state's lottery providing regulatory oversight. In early 2019, the law was tweaked to provide for mobile betting.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 2
Population: 1,057,315 (800,838 21+)

9. Arkansas

On July 1, 2019, the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort booked the first legal sports bets in Arkansas. Two other retail locations opened sportsbooks in the subsequent months. Sports betting is regulated by the Arkansas Racing Commission.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 3
Population: 3,013,825 (2,191,256 21+)

10. New York

On July 16, 2019, the first legal sports bets were placed in New York. J. Gary Pretlow -- a New York lawmaker and chair of the state's racing and wagering committee -- was among the first to place a wager at the Rivers Casino in Schenectady. The opening of a legal sportsbook came six years after New York passed a law to allow sports betting at four on-site locations, all in upstate New York. After lying dormant for years, the law was revived after the Supreme Court ruling in 2018 and the issuance of regulations earlier this year. The current law does not allow for mobile wagering.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 28
Population: 19,542,209 (14,724,807 21+)

11. Iowa

Legal sports betting arrived in Iowa on Aug. 15, with multiple operators all opening their doors to customers on the first day. The move came three months after Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed into a law a comprehensive bill to legalize sports betting in the Hawkeye State. Operators must pay a $45,000 licensing fee and there is a 6.75 percent tax on revenue. The new law permits mobile wagering. Betting on college sports is permitted, but certain kinds of in-game prop bets involving college games are banned. The new law bestows the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission with authority to regulate sports betting.

United

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No prop betting on in-state college athletics
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 23
Population: 3,156,145 (2,286,374 21+)

12. Oregon

Legal sports betting returned to Oregon on Aug. 27 after a long hiatus, with the first bets booked on-site at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City. Oregon is one of a small number of states that already had a law on the books permitting some forms of sports betting, so the resumption of wagering did not require the legislature to pass any new law or have the governor amend an existing tribal-state compact. In mid-October, mobile sports betting arrived in Oregon too, with the state-run lottery overseeing the launch of a new website and app.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort, but sportsbook operated by the Oregon Lottery does not permit betting on games involving in-state colleges
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 10
Population: 4,190,713 (3,167,912 21+)

13. Indiana

Legal sports betting opened up at a number of locations in Indiana on Sept. 1. The Indiana Gaming Commission oversees all sports betting regulations and has issued licenses to operators across the state. Wagering on both college and pro sports is permitted, but betting on esports and high school sports is banned. Indiana's new law allows for both mobile and in-person wagering. Regulations permit sports leagues or colleges to request 'to utilize a geofence to prohibit wagers at the location of a particular sporting event.'

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No prop betting on in-state college athletics
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 14
Population: 6,691,878 (4,842,337 21+)

14. New Hampshire

Governor Chris Sununo placed the ceremonial first legal sports wager -- on the New England Patriots -- in New Hampshire on Dec. 30, 2019.

Both retail and mobile sports betting will be permitted on a wide variety of sports, although no betting on New Hampshire's in-state colleges is allowed.

Type of wagering permitted: Mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on in-state colleges
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 0
Population: 1,356,458 (1,042,882 21+)

15. Illinois

Legal sports betting arrived in Illinois on March 9, 2020. The move came less than a year after the Illinois legislature passed a broad gaming bill that allowed for both online and in-person sports betting. With Governor J.B. Pritzker's signature, the new law also provided for betting on-location at venues such as Wrigley Field. Operators and certain data providers are required to obtain a license under the new law.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No wagering on minor leagues or Illinois college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 10
Population: 12,741,080 (9,391,158 21+)

16. Michigan

Legal sports betting in Michigan commenced on March 11, 2020, with two Detroit-area casinos launching on the same day. The move came less than three months after Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed the 'Lawful Sports Betting Act' into law. The new law provides for wagering on a wide variety of sports, including college contests.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 27
Population: 9.995,915 (7,428,72721+)

17. Montana

Legal sports betting arrived in Montana in March 2020. The move came after Governor Steve Bullock formally signed into law a 28-page bill that brought sports wagering to Big Sky country via the state's lottery. Governor Bullock cited the Montana Lottery's 'proven track record of responsibility and integrity' when signing the bill.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 13
Population: 1,062,305 (793,151 21+)

18. Colorado

May 1, 2020 marked the launch of legal sports betting in Colorado, with multiple operators allowing residents to open accounts online and place wagers. The move came less than six months after Colorado voters -- by a narrow margin -- approved a ballot measure that would provide 'for the regulation of sports betting through licensed casinos.' Both mobile and retail sports betting are permitted. Tax revenue from sports betting will help fund various state water projects.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 35
Population: 5,695,564 (4,210,663.00 21+)

19. Washington, D.C.

In June 2020, the D.C. Lottery launched its 'GameBetDC' platform allowing consumers 'to wager while in the District on major sports worldwide' via computer or mobile device. Sports betting in nation's capital followed the passage of the Sports Wagering Lottery Amendment Act of 2018 and a Congressional review period during which time Congress did not formally object. The Office of Lottery and Gaming provides regulatory oversight of all sports wagering in D.C.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions:No betting on games involving colleges located in D.C.
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019):None
Population: 705,749

20. Tennessee

Regulated sports wagering -- all online -- launched on November 1, 2020 in Tennessee with four licensed operators offering a wide variety of options. The 'Tennessee Sports Gaming Act' permits statewide mobile sports betting without any brick-and-mortar anchor. As such, there are no in-person retail sports betting locations in the state. Subject to an exception, Tennessee's new law requires all licensed operators to 'exclusively use official league data for purposes of live betting.'

Type of wagering permitted: Mobile only
Notable prohibitions:None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019):None

21. North Carolina

On July 26, 2019, Governor Roy Cooper signed into a law a bill to 'allow sports and horse race wagering on tribal lands,' with such betting designated as a 'Class III' gaming activity under the state compact. The new law permits betting on both college and professional sports, but all bettors must place their wagers in-person at one of two retail locations.

22. Washington

Governor Jay Inslee signed Washington's sports betting bill into law on March 25, 2020. The new law permits sports wagering at Class III tribal casinos in the state. Mobile sports wagering is not allowed statewide, but is permitted when on-site at a licensed tribal casino. Betting on an 'esports competition or event' is allowed, but the new law bans wagering on games involving in-state colleges or minor league professional events. The new bill delegates regulatory oversight to the Washington State Gambling Commission.

23. Virginia

After some back-and-forth between Governor Ralph Northam and the legislature, legalized sports wagering was approved in the Commonwealth of Virginia in April 2020. Online betting is allowed, but wagering is not permitted on Virginia-based college sports or certain youth sports.

24. Maryland

In November 2020, Maryland voters approved 'sports and events betting for the primary purpose of raising revenue for education' by about a 2-1 margin. A regulatory framework must be created by Maryland lawmakers before any sports wagering takes place. The Maryland referendum would potentially allow for both in-person and mobile sports betting throughout the state.

25. South Dakota

On November 3, 2020, voters in South Dakota approved a ballot measure permitting 'sports wagering in Deadwood.' Other tribal locations in South Dakota could see the arrival of regulated sports betting too. State lawmakers must now establish a regulatory apparatus and tax rate for legalized sports wagering.

26. Louisiana

In November 2020, voters in the vast majority of Louisiana's 64 parishes approved a ballot measure permitting 'sports wagering activities and operations.' As a result, regulated sports wagering could come to New Orleans and certain other cities as early as 2021. Lawmakers will be tasked with setting up a regulatory scheme during an upcoming state legislative session.

Moving toward legalization

All of these states have seen some degree of legislative activity towards the legalization of sports betting the past few years.

27. Oklahoma

In April 2020, two federally-recognized tribes reached agreement with Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on new gaming compacts that include sports betting. On June 8, 2020, Governor Stitt announced that the Department of the Interior had approved the compacts, paving the way for sports betting to start in Oklahoma as soon as the 'compacts are published in the Federal Register.' A bipartisan group of state lawmakers, along with Oklahoma's attorney general, have expressed opposition to the expansion of sports betting in Oklahoma and the prospect of legalized sports wagering remains uncertain.

28. Maine

On the last day of the state's 2019 legislative session -- June 19 -- Maine lawmakers passed 'An Act to Ensure Proper Oversight of Sports Betting in the State.' Shortly thereafter, the governor vetoed the bill. The legislature could re-introduce the bill later.

29. Nebraska

On November 3, 2020, Nebraska voters approved certain amendments to its state constitution legalizing 'all games of chance.' If the new constitutional amendments are construed to include wagering on sporting events, legalized sports betting could arrive in Nebraska upon the establishment of certain regulations.

United States Sports Betting Sites

Unlikely

51. Utah

Utah's anti-gambling stance is written into the state's constitution. Any change to existing state policy toward gambling would be a massive departure from decades of opposition to any form of gambling, including lottery tickets, table games and sports betting.

Casinos and poker definitely have very large niches of millions upon millions of gamblers out there. You can even find entire cities dedicated to casinos. But there’s just a certain atmosphere surrounding sports betting that’s impossible to ignore. It may not be more popular than casinos throughout the world, but sports fans are certainly more avid and full of fervor than fans of blackjack or the slots. For this reason, sports betting is able to easily maintain even if it’s not legal in the United States, and even when a sport isn’t in season. E.g. just because the NFL season isn’t currently underway doesn’t mean there are any less football gamblers out there. They’re just waiting patiently to pounce.

California Sports Betting News

At Sports Betting United States, we understand fully the high drama that is sports betting. We seek out the best sportsbooks with the most legitimate ratings and best deals. We also seek out sportsbooks that allow US players to sign up. They’re becoming rarer these days for some reason, and thus it’s hard for an American to find a really good site with which to bet. We make sure to research these sportsbooks and to find the best ones offering their services to players from the US, along with great graphics, plenty of betting options, and bonuses and promotions that will make gambling there a lucrative venture.

Is Online Sports Betting Legal In The U.S.?

The simple answer to this question is actually a yes and a no. We’re really not trying to complicate this issue, as it is fairly easy to understand, but the easiest way to explain it is to say that gambling venues are illegal while gambling itself is not. Think of it like alcohol. It’s illegal for you to make and sell moonshine in your own yard, because it violates federal law and the ATF would be breathing down your neck, but it’s perfectly legal to drink moonshine so long as you’re 21. The same applies with gambling. If you wanted to open a bookies or a casino, off-track betting site or a sportsbook online, it would be illegal to do this inside of the United States, with the exception of Montana, Delaware, Oregon and Nevada. But if you want to gamble, then all you need to do is actually find a legal venue.

The primary reason that gambling itself is not illegal is that the American government has a rooting interest in allowing Americans to gamble. Without the billions of dollars they gain every year from state-sponsored lotteries, they wouldn’t be able to fund schools and their pet pork projects. So, how can government officials tell the American public that it’s okay to gamble with them, but illegal for Americans to gamble elsewhere? It’s something that would never fly. So, in order to ensure that they’re still able to pass a moral judgment over gambling, the compromise they made is that it’s only illegal to accept money for bets and to offer wagering odds. As reported by http://www.legalbettingonline.com/sports/, it is perfectly legal to gamble, however, which means that, as an American, all you need to do is find a sportsbook that’s legally licensed. Then you can gamble as much as you want.

Recommending The Best US Friendly Online Sports Betting Sites

Each of the online sportsbooks below accept all USA players and are legally licensed and regulated. These bookmakers are some of the biggest names in online gambling. We don’t promote dodgy sites that have any question marks with their brand. And each site offers some fantastic sign up bonuses and ongoing rewards for loyal players.

How Can You Bet Legally If You Live In America?

If you want to bet legally in the United States, then you do have a few options available to you. First and foremost, you could go to one of those safe states to place your bets, which is definitely more convenient if you live inside or very close to those states. If you can get to Vegas, then by all means go to Vegas and bet real money with an on-location bookmaker. You could also go to a licensed casino. In a casino that’s located in West Virginia or Louisiana, for instance, all games of chance inside are legal. This means that you can actually bet on sports there, if they have sports betting as an option.

The easiest way, however, is simply to find a sportsbook that’s set up outside of America’s jurisdiction. This is where we come in to help. We help you find the best sportsbooks online, and sportsbooks that have no issues accepting American players. We seek out sites that have tight security, great graphics, plenty of incentives to draw you in, and tons of different sports on which you can bet. Being US-friendly is the chief concern here, of course, as the site can be rated the best in the world and it’s useless to Americans if they’re not accepting Americans. After we lock down the first criterion, we then look to see how the site stands out and stacks up against the competition.

Which Sports Are The Most Popular To Bet On?

It might sound a little hyperbolic, but every single sport or competitive match-up in the world has a betting line that you can find on the Internet. That isn’t to say that every site offers every sport, but it is to say that every sport is featured by some site out there. Of course, some sports are far more popular than others, and here are some of the most popular sports on which people bet, particularity Americans.

Football: NCAA/NFL

Americans love football more than any other sport on the planet, far and away. Americans love their NFL football like Brazilians love their futbal (soccer), and that’s saying a lot. Football draws in billions in sports bets every single year, and it’s far from the big matches that earn alone. While the Super Bowl and conference championships definitely turn heads, people are also betting big on all 16 regular season games, and even preseason games and the Pro Bowl. That’s how much Americans love the NFL. The NCAA is also a huge sport on which Americans bet. Especially now that the NCAA has trashed the BCS and have instituted a playoff system, more and more people are looking to place bets on the outcomes of games, as the NCAA field just seems more fair now than it’s ever been, back when rankings relied solely on computers.

Another big aspect of football betting is fantasy football. With new fan-based duel sites popping up all over the place, many football fans are compiling their rosters and are looking to earn big bucks from playing fantasy games against other players.

Basketball: NCAA/NBA

Basketball is another huge sport for Americans. With basketball, you have quite a few options. The National Basketball Association (NBA), the NCAA, and even the WNBA, which is the women’s specific league. There are also summer leagues and D-leagues on which many people end up betting. One of the reasons that basketball betting on the NBA is so popular is that there are so many games. There are 82 regular season games, and then 16 teams make the playoffs, which leads to 8 playoff series happening. Almost every reputable sportsbook in the world offers some type of betting line, and this keeps gamblers very interested.

Here is a good article on how NBA Commissioner Adam Silver want’s online sports betting legalized in the United States.

And for the NCAA fans, every year there’s a supremely popular phenomenon that happens, called March Madness. This is where 64 teams face off in single-elimination games en route to the college National Championship. There’s a ton to bet on here, from whole brackets and individual rounds to live-time betting on aired games and proposition bets. For a sports better, basketball is just pure excitement.

Golf:

Although it’s not an extremely popular sport in America, you would be surprised at just how many different people love gambling on golf lines. Part of the appeal here is that there are so many different ways to bet. You can bet live options, prop options, and you can bet all the normal options like favorites, O/Us, etc. But you can also bet on the golf pairings. When a major championship is being played, the typical format is that the PGA will group players together in pairs. Rather than having to bet on an entire match or some other long-shot outcome, you can actually bet on which player of the pairing wins. This is a fantastic way to leverage your bets and come out ahead in golf betting.

Another thing that makes golf betting so exciting is that there are up-and-coming players who are replacing the Phils and Tigers of the world. This new blood makes the lines far more exciting, and also far more forgiving, as there’s not enough information out there for bookmakers to set harsh lines.

Baseball – MLB:

Baseball is the perfect sport to bet on if you’re a gambler who likes betting in volume frequently. This is because the baseball season takes up almost three full weather seasons, running from the beginning of April to the end of October. That’s spring, summer, and half of fall. There are 162 regular season games, plus a few playoff series en route to the World Series. So, if you’re the type of gambler who likes to put down a few bucks every day to test the waters, baseball is definitely the sport for you. There’s just so much to keep you busy that you would probably never even bet every option available to you.

There’s also a relatively strong fantasy following in baseball. It’s not quite as strong as football’s following, but fantasy baseball has its appeal because the games typically happen every day or two rather than every week. And instead of only getting 16 or so, you get over 160. That’s a whole lot happening for gamblers; it’s a lot to focus on.

Horse Racing:

Finally, horse racing rounds out the most popular sports on which Americans bet. You might think of horse racing only in the context of the Triple Crown (e.g. the Derby, Belmont, and Preakness), but there are thousands upon thousands of horse races that happen all around the globe every year, on hundreds of different tracks, and many sports betters love betting on the ponies via the Internet. A big part of the appeal here is that top-flight sportsbooks actually run live streaming video feeds of the races. So even though you might be in middle America somewhere, you can actually watch the horses run in the UK from the comfort of your living room. This brings a very realistic experience to the sport.

Online betting via the horses is also the closest you’re going to get to betting at a live track due to the extreme parity in the betting options; e.g. trifectas, parlays, place and show bets, etc. If you’re one of those gamblers who has a horse betting system that you stick to, an online sportsbook is a great place to frequent.

Available Betting Options Found At Online Sportsbooks Open To United States Players

Sports Betting United States understands that a big part of the reason so many people bet on sports is that there are so many options available. For instance, a gambler doesn’t have to be stuck with betting on a straight even-money favorite via a sportsbook’s in-house odds. A gambler can find pool bets, they can parlay bets, they can participate in group bets with other members, and even head-to-head bets with other people. This range of options is what allows skilled gamblers to win big money online. The gamblers who actually take their time to research and leverage their action with smaller bets spread out over solid wagers are the ones who end up cleaning up every week. And they cannot do this on a sportsbook that doesn’t provide them a lot of options. Sports Betting United States attempts to find you these top-shelf sportsbooks that offer the options you need to make your bets worthwhile.

As we continue to grow our brand, Sports Betting United States is going to offer detailed, impartial reviews of US-friendly sportsbooks. We’re going to provide tips and tricks to help you win your bets. And we’re going to ensure accurate, current information that will help you make better overall decisions when gambling. We encourage everyone to gamble responsibly, never stretching themselves too thinly, but we also encourage everyone to win when they place a bet!
