WHILE live top-level sport is a little thin on the ground in Wyoming, sports betting was launched in the Cowboy State in September 2021 by the Wyoming Gaming Commission with an initial agreement for licences to be operated by DraftKings and BetMGM. With Wyoming law regulating for at least five sports betting licenses to be issued, the options for bettors will grow in the near future with no cap on the final number of licenses allowed in the state.
There are a number of land-based casinos run by the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes, but many are in remote locations, and while there is a potential for the casinos to run their own sportsbooks, no land-based sports betting options are available just yet.
To place sports bets in Wyoming you must register with an online operator, allowing you to wager when and where you want to, so long as you stay within state boundaries. The state also allows for horse race betting and launched a lottery in 2013.
