Idaho is lagging behind many of its neighbours when it comes to sports betting legislation. In fact, they are one of the few states to have not even proposed or discussed in any detail a sports betting bill.

So until that discussion begins it is very hard to predict when sports betting will arrive in the state.

Idaho borders Nevada which allows sports betting. It also borders Oregon which has now legalized online sports betting.

Online Sports Betting in Idaho

The Gem State is certainly not planning to legalize sports betting any time soon. Almost every other state in the US has at least considered a sports betting bill after the Federal ban on sports betting was removed by the US Senate in 2018.

The State already has ten tribal casinos and it is bordered by two states that offer some form of sports betting.

It does some surprising that the state has not felt any pressure to bring up the topic of sports betting considering Oregon has allowed online sports betting. This means that residents of Idaho's capital and largest city, Boise need only take the short drive over the state border before they can wager on their mobile with the Oregon state sportsbook.

We believe the fact that the state will be losing potential sports betting revenue to its neighbours will eventually persuade someone in the state congress to propose a bill.
