WI Online Sports Betting Legalization Updates December 2024

Wisconsin

Legal sports betting exists in Wisconsin –– but it's very limited. Currently, bettors can only bet on sports at nine locations within the state. The state of Wisconsin has allowed the Potawatomi and a few other tribes to offer sports betting, but only in person at their casinos. 

With no mobile sports betting in sight, it is important to note that Daily Fantasy is legal in the state. PrizePicks is a daily fantasy sports app that you can use in Wisconsin. First-time users are eligible for the following offer: Place a $5 Lineup, Get $50 Instantly - No Strings Attached! Be sure to sign up with promo code ACTION and make your picks!

A few other DFS platforms are also available, including Fliff, Betr Fantasy, Sleeper, Dabble, Owners Box, and more!

WI Sports Betting Overview, Timeline and Background

You can currently bet on sports in Wisconsin, but the laws are rather restrictive. There is one operating app, and you must be located in one of the nine designated locations in order to place your bets. On top of this, players must make their first deposit and a retail location. Wisconsin natives and visitors hope that the laws surrounding mobile sports betting loosen up soon. The Potawatomi Tribe will soon be able to offer sports betting as well. Be sure to check back for the latest news on mobile sports betting in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin has a long way to go before mobile sports betting is legalized but — at the very least — Wisconsinites will be able to bet on sports at casinos in the major population centers for the foreseeable future.

There is another way you can put your sports knowledge to the test.

PrizePicks is an app where you can choose if a player will go over or under certain stats for the duration of a given game. Action Network visitors can take advantage of the following offer: Place a $5 Lineup, Get $50 Instantly - No Strings Attached! Make sure you use the code ACTION and make your picks!
