States With Online Sports Betting

 

 

Whether you're a diehard sports fan or just like to have a few bets to keep yourself entertained, online sports betting has become a popular way to wager. It can be done from the comfort of your own home, and it can be more convenient than traveling to a land-based betting venue. While some states still require in-person registration, many states have legalized online sports betting. Below are the states with sports betting available for residents, and some details on each.

Montana's sports betting market is small. With a population of around a hundred thousand, the state is only a minor part of the overall U.S. market. While there aren't many betting options available, sportsbooks are still a viable option for bettors. In addition to the sportsbooks located at casinos, the state is home to a lottery operated by Intralot. In 2022, the state will also open up a regulated online betting market.

There are nine online sportsbooks currently operating in 777powernet, and plans are in the works to add two more in the near future. Online sportsbooks must partner with local casinos to operate. However, it's not yet clear whether Kansas will offer in-person betting. The state is also home to five land-based casinos, and residents voted in favor of constructing five more.

Indiana launched its online sports betting market on October 3, 2019, and there are currently 13 online sportsbooks operating in the state. During the first three months of operation, the state took in more than $7 billion in bets.

Iowa, one of the fastest-growing states in the country, launched its sports betting market in August. It also has one of the best operator-friendly setups in the country. In January 2019, Governor Kim Reynolds signed SF 617, allowing the state to license 41 different mobile apps. While not all operators offer all promotional offers, it's important to check out all of them and find the best ones for you.

Illinois will launch its online betting market in June 2020. It's also among the top five states in tax revenue, and it has one of the most populated populations in the country. The state also launched an in-person betting market in March 2020.

Maryland launched its online sports betting market on Wednesday at 9 a.m. ET, though the operators went offline all day Tuesday. There was a weird soft launch period for the operators, though, and they re-launched on Wednesday at 9 a.m. They also expect to launch at least five apps in the beginning.

New Jersey has 21 online sportsbooks available to residents. The state's sports betting market has a room for about 20 more. New Jersey has one of the most well-established sports betting markets in the country, and it also accepts new betting exchange models.

Virginia also has sports betting available to residents, but only online. There are two locations in the state that allow in-person sports betting, including the Caesars Book at Chase Field and the Footprint Center.
