State Gambling Laws
Since PASPA was repealed in 2018, each state controls its own gambling laws. Find your state below for a plain-English breakdown of what's legal.
The US Gambling Landscape
Since the Supreme Court struck down PASPA in 2018, states have regulated sports betting, online casinos, and poker independently. This has created a patchwork of laws that vary significantly by state.
Offshore Casinos: The Gray Area
Many players use offshore casinos licensed in jurisdictions like Curaçao or Costa Rica when their state lacks regulated options. While rarely prosecuted at the player level, they carry distinct risks: no US regulatory oversight, potential withdrawal delays, and limited consumer protection.
