Is Online Gambling Legal in Wisconsin?
The current gambling laws of Wisconsin do not cover online gambling. So it is neither permitted nor prohibited, but playing at an offshore online site is considered a misdemeanour by the state. Retail sports betting was given the go-ahead in November 2021 and Wisconsinites can enjoy this in only one tribal land-based site, the Oneida Casino.
There is a mobile sports betting app available, but this is limited for use within the casino. The state is definitely pro-gambling but prefers to keep the industry to its brick-and-mortar casinos, which are all tribal-owned. With 11 tribes currently operating 22 casinos in Wisconsin.
Horse race betting is legal, but there are no active racetracks in the state. Residents can legally purchase state lottery tickets and play charitable retail bingo. Online gambling isn’t looking likely to be legalised here, there are no gambling bills currently underway.
Minimum Legal age to Gamble in Wisconsin
The minimum age requirements for bingo, horse race betting (at tracks) and the lottery is 18. Retail sports betting and casino games within a licensed venue carry a minimum legal age of 21.
