Wyoming Online Gambling

Online gambling is legal in Wyoming. The top sites you can gamble online or via mobile app are: BetMGM and Fanduel.

Can you gamble online in Wyoming?

Sports betting was officially launched in Wyoming in September 2021 under the regulation of the Wyoming Gaming Commission (WGC). DraftKings and BetMGM were the initial license holders, and now also Fanatics, Caesars and Fanduel is live.

Unlike many other states, Wyoming has no land-based sports betting options. Bettors must register with an online operator, which enables them to place bets anywhere within state boundaries. This mobile-first approach has made sports betting accessible despite the state’s vast and often remote geography. The state also allows for horse race betting and launched a lottery in 2013. 

Representative Robert Davis has introduced House Bill 0162 (HB0162) in Wyoming’s 2025 legislative session to legalize online casinos. If passed, this legislation could position Wyoming among the few states that have embraced online casino gaming.

Wyoming Online Casinos

Online casinos are outlawed but there are a number of land-based venues that offer slots and video versions of popular games like blackjack and craps. 

If passed, HB0162 would legalize online casino gaming and a least five operators would be permitted to offer online casino services.

This is a very interesting development for the region and Wyoming online casinos could attract players from neighboring states like Colorado and Utah, further boosting revenue.
