Oklahoma Online Gambling

If you’re only 24 hours from Tulsa, you’re only 24 hours from some of the best casinos in Oklahoma. Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, tribal casinos are permitted in Oklahoma. Resorts like River Spirit have some of the biggest gambling floors in the state.

Traditional dice games are prohibited in Oklahoma, so most casinos have special variants of craps that use cards. But the Sooner State does have legalized pari-mutuel and off-track betting at racetracks across the region. Oklahoma online gambling? Let’s see the development in 2020.

Sportsbooks

While Oklahoma does not have legal online sports betting today, they may sometime soon. There have been several bills making the rounds in the statehouse for years now. Although nothing has yet to stick, many observers feel this could change soon with legal sportsbooks being allowed to open in the state as soon as 2020.

Casinos

While Oklahoma may not have many legal gambling options, it sure has plenty of casinos. There are over 100 casinos operating in the state and most of them are Tribal Casinos. These are also some of the biggest in the country. For instance, the WinStar World and Casino Resort is the largest casino in the U.S. and the second largest in the world. These casinos are not limited in size, shape, or offerings and every game is allowed with no restrictions from the state.

Online Poker

While many states are taking positive steps forward to legalize and regulate online poker, Oklahoma seems to be moving the opposite direction. It is perfectly legal to play online poker for money now. However, the market is unregulated so play is limited to off-shore sites.

Lotteries

The Oklahoma lottery is very popular in the state. Not only is it a big offering with all the major, name-brand games and drawings, it also has plenty of games available via their website. Also, the revenue it creates for the state goes directly to education which is always very popular.

Fantasy Sports

Wagering on fantasy sports and playing at DFS sites such as DraftKings and FanDuel is perfectly legal in the state of Oklahoma. That said, the market remains unregulated for now as there are still some legalities to straighten out. They last tried in 2017 when a bill failed after being shot down by the Tribes. Even when regulation comes, it won’t affect the players.

Horse Racing

Horse racing does very well in Oklahoma and there are not many limitations in the industry. There are three tracks in operation in the state and these are even allowed to run as “racinos.” OTB’s are also allowed across the state and you can even wager online at one of the many sites allowed to operate in the state.
