Terms of Use | Legal Sports Betting

These terms apply to everyone who reads legalsportsbetting.us. By using the site you accept them; if you do not, please leave it. Last updated October 19, 2026.

The short version

Information: The site explains state sports betting law. It is general information, not legal advice, and it is not a sportsbook.
Who may bet: Only people of legal age, 21 in most states, who are physically inside a state where betting is legal, with a sportsbook that state has licensed.
Accuracy: Records are checked against official sources and dated, but laws and registers change. The regulator in your state is the final word.
Affiliate links: Some links to sportsbooks may earn this site a commission. That does not change which sportsbooks are listed.

General information only

Everything on this site, including the map, the state-by-state table, the state guides and the downloadable dataset, describes the law as it stood on the date each record was checked. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and it does not create any professional relationship. For a question about your own situation, ask the regulator in your state or a qualified lawyer.

Betting is your own decision

This site takes no bets, holds no accounts and handles no money. Any wager you place is a contract between you and the sportsbook, on that sportsbook's terms. You are responsible for checking that you are of legal age and located where betting is permitted before you place one. Sportsbooks verify both, and a bet placed from the wrong location can be voided. Gambling involves the risk of losing money; set limits before you start. Help is available at responsible gambling and on 1-800-GAMBLER.

Accuracy and changes

Each record names its source and the date it was checked. We correct errors as soon as we find them, but we cannot promise that every page reflects a change made by a legislature, regulator or operator on the day it happens. If a state's own register and this site disagree, the register is right.

Links to other websites

The site links to regulators, legislatures, help organizations, photo sources and licensed sportsbooks. Those websites are run by others, under their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or for any service they provide. A link is not an endorsement of anything beyond what the page that carries it says.

Using our content

The text, design and arrangement of the site belong to Legal Sports Betting. You may read, print and share pages for personal use, and you may quote short passages or individual facts from the site and the dataset as long as you link to the page you took them from. Republishing whole pages or the full dataset as your own needs written permission. Photographs are used under the licenses named in their credit lines, and sportsbook names and logos are the trademarks of their owners; neither is licensed to you by these terms.

Acceptable use

Do not try to break, overload or gain unauthorized access to the site, and do not scrape it at a rate that slows it down for other readers. Downloading the published CSV file is the intended way to use the records in bulk.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, Legal Sports Betting is not liable for any loss arising from the use of the site or from reliance on its content, including losses from bets placed with any sportsbook.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. The date at the top shows the current version, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
