Sports betting was signed into law on April 6, 2021. The bill that was signed into law only approves online sportsbooks in WY. Retail sportsbooks are still prohibited, but there will be plenty of online betting platforms to choose from once the market matures.
But, before online sportsbooks can launch, the Wyoming Gaming Commission will need to publish the rules for potential sportsbook operators to follow no later than September 1, 2021. After that, online sports betting operators can apply for a license.
This means legal sports betting in Wyoming could go live during the upcoming 2021-2022 NFL season.
Best online Wyoming sportsbooks
The title of best online Wyoming sportsbooks has yet to be determined since no online sportsbooks have launched in the state as of yet.
A minimum of 5 online sportsbooks will need to launch in the state as stated in the new WY sports betting law. But, there is no cap on the total number of online sportsbooks that could call the Cowboy state home.
Sportsbooks expected to launch in Wyoming include
- DraftKings
- FanDuel
- BetMGM
- William Hill
- BetRivers
These have been the usual sportsbooks to launch first in states that legalize sports betting. That was the case in Tennessee and Virginia who both launched online sportsbooks before any other types of sports gambling businesses.
To bet on sports in Wyoming, you’ll have to sign up for an online sportsbook and/or mobile sports betting app that’s regulated by the state.
When signing up you’ll need to provide proof of I.D. as well as your social security number. This is to make sure that you are of the legal age to bet on sports in WY and that the sportsbooks are sending payments to the right people.
You’re also going to need to choose which deposit method you want, send money to your sports betting account, and then you can start putting action on whatever sport your sportsbook provides.
