Online Casinos in Wyoming

Wyoming Licenses Online Sports Betting, Not Online Casino Games

Wyoming has a licensed, state-regulated online wagering market, and it does not include casino games. The Wyoming Gaming Commission records on its own site that "On April 5, 2021, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed into law House Enrolled Act No. 50 (HB-0133) - Online Sports Wagering, authorizing and regulating online sports wagering." and that "This act made legal two (2) activities that were previously not legal in Wyoming: Online sports wagering Participation in fantasy sports contests" The enrolled act's own caption describes its whole subject matter: "AN ACT relating to online sports wagering; authorizing online sports wagering; providing for regulation by the Wyoming gaming commission; imposing fees; requiring rulemaking; creating an account; providing for the collection and distribution of revenues from online sports wagering to the state; providing for a continuous appropriation; creating penalties; specifying that fantasy sports contests are not gambling; and providing for effective dates."

Nothing in that act reaches slots, blackjack, roulette or any other casino game. It defines its own scope narrowly: "(vi) "Online sports wagering" means engaging in sports wagering conducted by a sports wagering operator through a sports wagering account over the internet by use of a computer, digital platform or mobile application on a mobile device, any of which uses communications technology to accept sports wagers or any system or method of electronic sports wagering approved by commission rules. "Online sports wagering" shall not include or be conducted from any physical location created by a sports wagering operator or vendor for a patron to physically visit to place a wager;" A reader who sees licensed sportsbook apps working in Wyoming should not infer that online casino games are licensed there, because no Wyoming body licenses them and no Wyoming law authorises them.

What the Wyoming Gaming Commission Does Regulate

The Commission describes its remit as covering "The primary mission of the Wyoming Gaming Commission is the protection of the wagering public and the health, safety, and welfare of the participants in all lawful gaming and pari-mutuel activity." Across its own pages that remit comprises online sports wagering, pari-mutuel and historic horse racing, charitable gaming, and skill based amusement games. None of those is an online casino licence.

Skill based amusement games are physical terminals in physical premises, not internet casino games. The Commission quotes the statutory definition of the places they may sit: "Pursuant to W.S. § 11-25-102(xvi) "Establishment" means a single physical place of business that operates as a truck stop, smoke shop or that is licensed or permitted to sell alcoholic liquor or malt beverages under W.S. 12-2-203(g), 12-4-201, 12-4-301, 12-4-401, 12-4-407, 12-4-413, 12-4-414 or 12-4-415;" Charitable gaming is similarly bounded by who may run it: "Bingo games and pull tabs games shall only be conducted by charitable or non-profit organizations, which have been in existence in the State of Wyoming for at least three (3) years and, commencing on July 1, 2020, are licensed by the Wyoming Gaming Commission under W.S. § 11-25-104(n)."

Interactive Gaming Has Been Proposed Twice and Enacted Neither Time

Wyoming's legislature has twice been asked to authorise online casino play, under the name interactive gaming. House Bill 0120 of the 2024 session was "AN ACT relating to gaming; authorizing interactive gaming; providing for regulation by the Wyoming gaming commission; imposing fees; providing for the collection and distribution of revenues from interactive gaming; providing for a continuous appropriation; requiring rulemaking; providing penalties; and providing for effective dates." The Legislature's own record for that bill reads "H Failed Introduction 25-36-1-0-0"

House Bill 0162 of the 2025 session was "AN ACT relating to gaming; authorizing interactive gaming; providing for regulation by the Wyoming gaming commission; imposing fees; providing for the collection and distribution of revenues from interactive gaming; providing for the distribution of interactive gaming revenues; requiring rulemaking; creating criminal offenses and providing criminal penalties; and providing for effective dates." It defined its central term expressly as casino play: "(ii) "Interactive game" means an internet based version or variation of poker, blackjack or any other card, slot or gambling game typically offered in a casino and approved by the commission, in which:" The Legislature's own record for that bill reads "H:Died in Committee Returned Bill Pursuant to HR 5-4" Neither bill became law, so Wyoming has no interactive gaming permit, no interactive gaming regulator and no licensed online casino.

Gambling Is an Offence in Wyoming, With Listed Exceptions

Wyoming does not simply lack an online casino law; it has a criminal gambling offence that online casino play does not fall outside of. The most recent change to it is Senate File 0044 of the 2026 budget session, enacted as Senate Enrolled Act No. 38 and captioned "AN ACT relating to crimes and offenses; amending exceptions to the offense of gambling; amending and creating definitions; and providing for an effective date." The act amends the definitions in W.S. 6-7-101 — "Section 1. W.S. 6‑7‑101(a)(iii)(intro), (E), (H) and (ix) and by creating a new paragraph (xiv) is amended to read:" — and states "Section 2. This act is effective July 1, 2026."

The exceptions that act works on are the familiar domestic ones. Among them is private social play, which the 2026 act defines for the first time: "(xiv) "Bona fide social relationship" means a genuine social relationship between two (2) or more persons wherein each person has an established knowledge of the other." A commercial online casino accepting wagers from the public meets none of that. The Commission's own framing of the 2021 online sports wagering act — "This act made legal two (2) activities that were previously not legal in Wyoming:" — shows the structure plainly: in Wyoming an online wagering activity is unlawful until an act of the legislature authorises it and the Commission permits it. This site does not name operators as a way to play in a market that licenses none.

Age Limits Apply per Authorised Activity

Wyoming sets its gambling ages activity by activity rather than with one statewide casino age, because it licenses no casino. For the one online activity it does license, the 2021 act is explicit: "No person under the age of eighteen (18) years shall engage in online sports wagering." That is the age for online sports wagering under House Enrolled Act No. 50, and it is not an age at which online casino play becomes available in Wyoming, because none is available.

Sweepstakes Casinos Are Not Addressed by Any Wyoming Source Found Here

No Wyoming statute, Gaming Commission statement or enacted bill located for this page addresses the sweepstakes or dual-currency casino model, so no sweepstakes status is recorded for Wyoming and none is implied. A sweepstakes casino is not a licensed real-money casino and is not presented here as an alternative to one.
