Wyoming Sports Betting: Best Legal Sportsbooks

Is online sports betting legal in Wyoming?

Yes. Wyoming legalised online sports betting in 2021, and mobile sportsbooks launched on 1 September 2021, in time for the football season. The state chose a mobile-focused model suited to its small, spread-out population, where a statewide app reaches far more people than a handful of retail counters could.

The Wyoming Gaming Commission licenses and regulates operators. Wyoming sets the minimum age at 18, one of the few states to do so, and bettors must be physically inside Wyoming when they place a wager.

Betting in a small, mobile-first market

Wyoming has a population of under 600,000 spread across a very large area, which is why the state built its market around mobile apps. With fewer potential customers than in bigger states, operators sometimes offer a narrower set of specialist markets, but all the major US leagues are covered, and features such as live betting are widely available. Because accounts are opened online, every licensed app completes identity and age checks during sign-up, and you may be asked for documents before your first withdrawal. Keep those details up to date to avoid delays when you cash out.

Wyoming sports betting sites we review

BetMGM is the only one of our three ranked US sportsbooks licensed in Wyoming. bet365 and BetRivers are not listed for the state on this site, so they do not appear in our Wyoming rankings. Even so, Wyoming bettors have access to several licensed apps from other operators, so comparing odds before you bet is still possible.

Geolocation can be tricky in rural areas, where mobile signals are weaker. If an app struggles to confirm your location, switching on Wi-Fi or moving to an area with better coverage often helps. Remember that Utah, Idaho, Nebraska and Montana each have very different rules, so your Wyoming account will not work once you cross the border.

College betting and taxes

Wyoming permits betting on college sports, including University of Wyoming Cowboys games. State lawmakers have discussed a ban on college player props, but as of our latest review it had not been adopted, so check your app for the markets currently offered.

Wyoming has no state personal income tax, so winnings are not taxed at the state level, though federal tax still applies.

Cowboys, Broncos and responsible play

With no professional teams of its own, Wyoming's loyalties lie with the University of Wyoming and with neighbouring franchises, especially the Denver Broncos. Licensed sportsbooks must offer deposit limits and self-exclusion tools. Wyoming residents can get free, confidential help through 1-800-GAMBLER.
