FAQs online sports betting in Minnesota
Here are your most commonly asked questions when it comes to sports betting in Minnesota.
⚖️ Is sports betting legal in Minnesota?
Not yet. The House has attempted to pass a bill that would allow sports betting in the state since 2018, but tribal casinos have opposed this bill. We expect there will be a bill agreed by 2021.
🤔 Are there any sportsbooks in Minnesota?
Not yet. There are not legal sportsbooks in the state of Minnesota. This may change with the new legislative session in 2021, but until then you will need to travel south and place a bet at one Iowa's sportsbooks.
⌛ When will online sports betting be legal in Minnesota?
The legislative session has now closed in 2020 without an agreement between the House and the Tribal casinos. We expect that with the lost revenue during 2020, it will be in both parties interests to pass a bill that allows mobile wagering in 2021.
❓ How can I bet on sports in Minnesota?
You cannot currently bet on sports in the state of Minnesota.
Your best bet (excuse the pun) is to travel south of the border and sign-up to one of Iowa's sportsbooks.
Online Sports Betting in Minnesota
Things have gone a bit stale when it comes to Minnesota's sports betting bill. The state had looked keen to be one of the first to offer online sports betting when a bill was proposed in 2018, but since then wrangling over the details have resulted in both 2019 and 2020 legislative sessions passing by without any progress.
The main issue is how the state can ensure that tribal casinos will not lose revenue to new mobile sportsbooks.
In the 2020 session Sen. Roger Chamberlain introduced an amendment that would require in-person registration; thus ensuring that each customer enter a bricks and mortar establishment before betting online.
The bill was not approved by any of the 11 Indian tribes in the 2020 session. It looks like we will have to wait until 2021 before SF1894 is able to progress.
