Best Washington State Sports Betting Sites & Apps 2025

On March 25th 2020 sports betting was legalized in Washington state as Governor Jay Inslee signed HB2638 into law. The bill allows for sports wagering at Class III tribal casinos. This made the state the first to legalize sports betting in 2020. While the bill allows for retail sports betting, mobile betting can only take place on tribal lands.

However, according to state law the casino operators cannot be taxed on sports betting revenue meaning that the state has missed out on a potentially lucrative revenue stream.

The industry has been held up by delays relating to the regulation of the industry and issues with existing gaming compacts. These have since been ironed out and the industry launched on September 9th 2021.

In February 2023, a federal court rejected a legal attempt by card room operator Maverick Gaming to have the HB2638 overturned. The company alleged that the law created an ‘unfair tribal monopoly’. However, the federal court ruled that ‘tribal sovereignty must be protected’.

Contrary to what people may think due to Sports Betting being fully legal in Washington DC. Citizens in Washington State need to search for foreign websites when they want to bet online.

Who regulates the Washington sports betting industry?

The Washington State Gambling Commission oversees the state’s sports betting industry and recently approved a new set of rules and regulations which came into effect on the 30th of August 2021.

Legal Online Sports Betting Apps in Washington

Daily Fantasy Sports in Washington

Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) contests are illegal under Washington state law. In 2016, the state ruled that DFS contests were not exempt from the state’s anti-gambling laws and therefore illegal.

There are currently no operators servicing the state and there is no indication that DFS legislation will be introduced at any point in the near future.

What about online poker in Washington?

Washington law specifically states that online poker is illegal. In 2006, the state amended gambling laws to include all forms of online gambling and this amendment has remained in place ever since.

There have been several attempts to pass legislation in the years since but no bills have ever gained sufficient support. With tribal casinos now controlling the majority of Washington betting activity, it’s unlikely that the tribes will allow online casino or poker legislation to pass without a fight.

Responsible Gambling Resources in Washington

The Washington Gambling Commission ensures that gaming facilities and licensed operators encourage safe and responsible gambling activity among their customers.

The state also operates several responsible gambling initiatives including a self-exclusion program for all in-state casinos.

In-state problem gambling resources include:

• The Health Care Authority (HCA) Washington State Problem Gambling Program
• The Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling

National responsible gambling resources available in Washington include:

• National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG)
• Gamblers Anonymous
• Gam-Anon
• QuitGamble.com
