The State(s) of Sports Betting in the U.S.

Since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision to overturn the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in 2018, allowing states to regulate sports betting individually, many states have passed legislation that allows sports betting through retail and/or online sportsbooks.

According to the American Gaming Association, 39 states and the District of Columbia have legalized sports betting in some form. 30 states plus DC allow sports betting online and in retail locations, seven only allow retail sports betting and two only allow online sports wagers. 11 states have not yet legalized sports betting in any form: Alabama, Alaska, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Oklahome, South Carolina, Texas and Utah.
