US Sports Betting Tracker

(Last Updated November 24th, 2021)

The map below is designed as a US sports betting tracker across each state in the United States. Each state has been bucketed into a unique category: Legal Betting, Recent Betting Bill Passed, Betting Bill Introduced, or No Betting Bill Introduced. Additionally, we will also be tracking key concepts such as whether land-based betting, on-site mobile betting or state-wide mobile betting is available.

New Jersey was at the forefront of the legal sports betting movement and features fully legal sports wagering for both land-based and mobile businesses. New Jersey launched sports betting in 2018 and its close proximity to New York (where sports betting is not yet legal) quickly lead to it becoming the pre-eminent state in the sports betting space.
