Find a sportsbook by how you pay
Sports betting in the US
Which states have legal online sports betting?
The states listed above have at least one online sportsbook recorded as live. Laws change, so check your state regulator if you are unsure. Elsewhere we show odds for information only, with no links to sportsbooks.
Which states only allow in-person betting?
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin allow in-person sports betting but have no statewide online sportsbook. Wisconsin signed an online betting law in April 2026, but no app is live yet, and Nebraska voters rejected online betting measures on 3 November 2026 (unofficial results).
Why can't I see links to sportsbooks?
We only link to a sportsbook when you are in a state where it is live. Your location is estimated from your connection, and the sportsbook will verify it again before you can bet.
Can I bet while traveling?
Sportsbooks check where you physically are when you bet, not where you live. You can usually use your account in any state where that sportsbook is live, but you may need to confirm your location first. Check the operator's rules.
How do you rank sportsbooks?
By our editorial rating, which combines measured prices with trust, markets, payments and app quality. See the full method.
