Understanding Legal Status

Regulated

The state has passed legislation specifically authorizing online gambling. Licensed operators are regulated by a state gaming commission. Your money has state consumer protections behind it.

RI · CT · WV · MI · PA · DE · NJ

Offshore Accessible

No legislation specifically authorizing or banning online gambling. Offshore sites accept players and most people access them without issue — but no state consumer protections apply. If something goes wrong, you have no legal recourse.

MO · KS · KY · LA · MA · MD · VA · TN · MN · OK · IN · NC · IL · OH · GA · FL · TX · NV · CA · NY

Restricted — Avoid

State law explicitly prohibits online gambling — in some cases targeting players, not just operators. Utah prohibits all gambling in its constitution. Washington state has criminalized online gambling participation directly.

Not legal advice. Laws change — several states have active legislation in progress. Our guides cover the practical picture for recreational players.
