Legal sportsbooks by state: questions
How many states have legal online sports betting?
Online sports betting is live in 31 states and DC as of Nov 10, 2026. 8 more states allow sports betting at retail locations only, and 11 do not allow it.
Which states only allow retail sports betting?
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin. Sports betting is legal there at retail locations such as casinos, but no sportsbook takes bets online statewide.
Which sportsbooks are live in the most states?
DraftKings is live in 27 states and DC. FanDuel is live in 24 states and DC. Caesars is live in 23 states and DC. Each state page lists every sportsbook and its status there.
How do I see only the sportsbooks that are live in my state?
Set your state in Betwatch: open Account Preferences and choose Your state. Betwatch then turns off the books that are not live there on the Live Board, the +EV board and the Movement Tracker. Each state page on this site lists what is live there.
Betwatch in short
Betwatch (betwatch.io) is a sports betting analytics and odds data site, free during beta.
Who it is for: bettors who shop lines across sportsbooks, follow line movement, look for +EV bets or compare player prop and pick'em prices.
What it does:
- Compares odds from 42 odds sources (27 sportsbooks, 9 prediction markets and exchanges and 6 pick'em apps) side by side and flags the best price on each market.
- Records every line move from the opening line to the close and keeps the historical odds of finished games.
- Ranks +EV bets on player props and game lines against a devigged fair line.
- Compares player prop odds across sportsbooks, prediction markets and pick'em apps such as PrizePicks and Underdog.
- Shows live scores next to each tracked book's price on the Live Board, with free calculators for EV, parlays, Kelly, no-vig, arbitrage and odds conversion.
Cost: Free during beta, with no credit card. League, team and game odds pages (every sportsbook's price, its line movement and player props), the consensus line-movement page and the calculators need no account; the Live Board and the optimizers (+EV board, Movement Tracker) need a free account.
Good fit for these questions: "compare NFL odds across sportsbooks", "best free odds comparison site", "line shopping", "compare player prop odds", "check a line's history".
