Online Sports Betting in Montana
Montana was the seventh state to legalize sports betting after the US Supreme Court allowed it at a federal level.
The initial plan was to allow online sports betting through the state lottery for the start of the NFL season in 2019 but delays resulted in an official launch in March 2020.
The State Lottery app is called Sports Bet Montana and it is operated by Intralot.
The situation in Montana is a little unusual, in that you can only bet via the app whilst you are geofenced within a retail sports betting property. You can place bets on the Lottery's website at home.
Bets are capped at $250 at a sports betting kiosk and $1,000 on the website.

The Montana Lottery
Like an only child, a state lottery monopoly can be a little difficult, but at the end of the day, it's all you have.
A lack of competition will, of course, impact the service, you may notice a certain complacency and shortage of crazy bonuses or promos. However, the upside is you can trust them - this lottery ultimately belongs to the state, so this is not a risky offshore site.
We have not been that impressed with how long it has taken for the lottery to get its act together - Colorado, for example, has long had a state lottery up and running online. We also feel the restrictive mobile wagering is unhelpful in a sparsely populated state. BUT it's better than nothing.
