Good to know: Indiana sports betting has been legal for nearly six years
Sport wagering in Indiana has been legal since September 2019 both in person and online. Former Gov. Eric Holcomb signed the statewide regulated sports betting bill into law a little more than a year after the US Supreme Court overturned the federal ban.
Mobile sports betting is currently legal in 30 states. Along with the District of Columbia, 38 states have legal and regulated retail sports wagering markets in place.
In other state news, the Indiana House Public Policy Committee recently approved a proposal to legalize iGaming and allow Hoosier Lottery players the option of purchasing their tickets online.
The House committee passed two proposals, one that would allow legal online gaming as well as allowing the Hoosier Lottery to sell tickets online, and another that would permit veterans organizations, bars and charitable entities to house electronic pull tab machines.
