Is Gambling legal in Hawaii?
HAWAII is one of two states, along with Utah, that offers no sports betting options of any sort. And while residents of Utah can play Daily Fantasy Sports, this has been explicitly banned in the Aloha State.
However, unlike Utah, there is a movement in support of bringing sports betting to the state, with attempts made in 2019 and 2020 to legalize sports betting – both failing. A new attempt is brewing with possible legalization in late 2022.
Offshore sportsbooks, operating outside US law, say they are open to residents across the US, including Hawaii, and allow sports bets to be placed using their sites. The advice is to avoid these sportsbooks as they offer no consumer protection, with no guarantees that winning bets will be paid out.
