Indiana Online Gambling 2020

Indiana has reasonably restrictive laws surrounding casino gambling. Casinos have been around in Indiana since the early 1990s, and the state’s best establishments are riverboat casinos on Lake Michigan. However, there are still a handful of interesting racinos based inland.

Indiana has some tribal casinos, operated by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. The Pokagon Band Gaming Commission was set up in 2007 and now oversees gaming at the Four Winds Casino. Will see how online gambling landscape changes in Indiana in 2020.

Sportsbooks

There are now 13 sportsbooks in Indiana. Mobile betting is also allowed. The state passed an expansive gambling bill in April 2019 which will affect Indiana’s entire gambling industry. Casinos, OTBs, and racinos will all be able to open sportsbooks and, as mentioned, online sports betting will be available throughout the state by 2020.

Mobile betting is expected at Fanduel sportsbook at Belterra Casino, Indiana, near Florence. Learn more at belterracasino.com/play/casino-gaming/sportsbook.

Casinos

The bill legalizing and regulating sports betting will also expand the casino market as well. While Indiana has had casinos for decades, this bill will also allow racinos to offer table games. However, even with all this expansion, online casinos have taken a backseat for now. Different legislation will be needed in that arena but it appears to be right around the corner.

Online Poker

Live poker is legal in Indiana and many of their casinos host poker rooms for players. However, online poker has been lumped into the online casino debate so this will also take so time.

Lotteries

The Indiana lottery has always been wildly popular in the state. So much so in fact, neighboring states expanded their lotteries in order to keep players on their side of the state line. Every major lotto can be played in Indiana and this includes drawings, scratch-offs, raffles and pull-cards.

Fantasy Sports

Wagering on fantasy sports in Indiana has been legal since 2016. Sites such as FanDuel, DraftKings, and FantasyDraft all operate in the state. Fully licensed and regulated.

Horse Racing

Indiana is home to two racinos which not only host horse racing but casino games as well. These establishments also have OTB’s allowing players to wager on races around the world via simulcast. Online horse racing betting in Indiana are also readily available throughout the state (Amwager, NyraBets, etc.).
