    Some states in the US, like New Jersey, offer basically every form of gambling online. Other states, like Hawaii and Utah, have full prohibitions on any kind of online gambling. Look online to see what states allow online gambling where you live. [1]
    • Many states have specific rules on which kinds of gambling are allowed. A state may outlaw online betting for horse races and online poker, for example, but allow fantasy sports and casino games.

    Many states allow for 16- to 18-year-olds to gamble. [2] Unfortunately, because there are so many different rules from state to state, online gambling casinos and sportsbooks usually require users to be 21 years of age just so they don’t have to keep track of the different state requirements. [3]
    • You will need a state ID, driver’s license, or passport to sign up for an online gambling site.

    This is where you can find digital versions of roulette, blackjack, slots, craps, and other traditional games you’d find at an IRL casino. If you really want to relive your days in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, online casinos may be ideal for you. [4]
    • BetMGM Casino , Wynn Bet , and Bet Rivers are some of the bigger names when it comes to online casinos.
    • There are also online-only casino games that resemble games like Candy Crush or Peggle.

    If you’re a huge sports fan and you want to gamble on the games you watch, you’re looking for an online sportsbook. On these sites, you can bet on the outcome of games (moneyline bets), how many points will be scored by the teams (over/under bets), or how hard one team will beat another (spread bets). [5]
    • Many of the larger sportsbooks also offer parlays, which are multiple bets that are tied together into one larger bet.
    • Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, Fanduel, and Points Bet are the most popular sportsbooks.

    If you want to specifically focus on drafting fantasy sports games and playing other fantasy fanatics for money, look for a gambling site that offers fantasy gambling. While fantasy sites often offer other kinds of sports gambling, there are a handful that only deal in fantasy games. [6]
    • Draft Kings and Fanduel are the two most popular platforms for fantasy sport gambling.

    If you’re interested in playing the ponies but you can’t go to an offsite betting track (or they’re illegal where you live), gambling on horse races online may be the next best thing. Online horse racing sites are a popular way to see if lady luck is on your side and place bets on which jockey will win a given race. [7]
    • TwinSpires (the official Churchill Downs online site), TVG , and AmWager are all extremely well-known horse racing gambling sites.

    Many states offer online versions of the games they offer offline. Whether it’s a pick-5 ticket or a scratch off, your state may have a digital alternative if you want to gamble and you can’t swing by a store that sells lotto tickets near you. [8]

    The bigger sportsbooks will have the liquidity to pay you out when their books are thin, and they’ll have a reputation to uphold so their customer service is usually going to be better. If you search for a sportsbook or casino online and you can’t find any information on them outside of their own website, it’s potentially a scam. [9]
    • Look at reviews online to see if people are happy with their experience on each platform you consider.

    Search the casino’s or sportsbook’s website to see if they’re licensed by your state. The licensing body will differ from state to state, but they’re often regulated via your state’s gaming control board (or GCB). Scan through their website and then confirm with your state’s GCB that they’re in good standing with your state. [10]
    • If a sportsbook or casino isn’t in good standing with your state and you give them money to gamble, you may not be able to get it back.

    Different sportsbooks and casinos offer different features. If you love playing blackjack, look for a casino that offers it! If you really want to gamble on fantasy sports and on individual games, look for a sportsbook that offers both fantasy and single-game gambling. [11]
    • You can typically find what a sportsbook or casino offers by looking through their website.

    Almost every sportsbook and casino offers bonuses. These range from free games, matching deposits up to $200, or a bundle of free bets. This may seem like a big deal, but it’s not. These offers are designed to entice people into spending more than they normally would, so don’t put a giant emphasis on the bonus when you’re picking the sportsbook or casino. [12]
    • If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. An unrealistic or absurd sign-up bonus is a major sign that the casino or sportsbook isn’t safe to use.

    Once you’ve chosen a sportsbook or casino, click the “sign up” link to create an account on their website. Any legitimate sportsbook or casino will want to make sure you are who you say you are, so they’ll need your name, email, address, and personal details. Follow the prompts to complete the sign-up process. [13]
    • You will likely have to upload a copy of your driver’s license or state ID to provide proof that the details you’ve entered are accurate.
    • It may take a day or two for your account to be approved depending on how quickly they process your information.

    It may take 2-3 days or more for the online casino or sportsbook to confirm your identity and approve your funds. Luckily, many online sportsbooks and casinos offer automatic clearinghouse (ACH) deposits, which will allow you to use and access your funds immediately. Once you’ve got money to spend, you can start having fun by gambling! [15]

    If you plan on gambling $300 a month, do not spend more than $300 a month and refuse to deposit more than $300 if your account runs dry. Having a concrete cutoff for your gambling will keep you from overspending if you’re unlucky. [16]
    • Never gamble more than you’re willing to lose. If you set out to gamble $500, be willing to walk away with a $500 loss. Assuming you can lose can keep you from spiraling out of control if things don’t go your way. [17]

    While a little bit of game knowledge and skill can help you win at blackjack, poker, or fantasy sports, the “coinflip” games like roulette and slots are especially bad for gamblers. If you’re going to gamble and play a game of pure chance, expect to lose money. [18]
    • If you love these games of chance, it’s perfectly okay to play. Just know that the odds of success are extremely low. Casinos love these games for a reason!

    Gambling should be a fun, occasional activity for you. If you start fixating on gambling, putting a ton of emotional weight on each bet, or losing your cool when you lose, stop. Walk away from the computer or phone and go do something else. You should never gamble when you aren’t in a positive headspace. [19]
    • Gambling during a period of emotional turmoil is a surefire way to make yourself feel worse while losing more money.
    • Never gamble when you’re depressed, sad, or otherwise upset.

    If you find it difficult to stop gambling, reach out for help . Ask a friend or family member to support you and connect you with a recovery program. Alternatively, you can reach out to a therapist or addiction counselor yourself and ask them to help you stop. [20]

    Can you get arrested for gambling online? Can they search your home?
    Jason Carpenter
    Community Answer
    n the United States the legality of online gambling varies from state to state. While some states have legalized and regulated online gambling, others do not. In states where online gambling is illegal, individuals engaging in such activities could potentially face criminal charges, including misdemeanors and may even face fines or imprisonment. Even where online gambling is illegal, authorities would have to follow legal procedures, including obtaining a search warrant, to search your home or seize property related to the unlawful activities.

    Community Answer
    If you lack experience but are eager to invest, consider reaching out to companies specializing in launching gambling websites from the ground up, such as 2WinPower, Softswiss, or Softgamings. They provide assistance with website development, obtaining licenses, and promotional strategies. Be prepared to allocate a separate budget for advertising and audience acquisition, as promoting your business online can be challenging, especially for novices.
