Mississippi Sports Betting

The first Mississippi sportsbooks launched shortly after the Supreme Court ended the federal sports betting prohibition. Today, fans 21 and older can visit more than 30 sportsbooks at casinos across the state.

State law only permits online sports betting in Mississippi to the extent that guests may place wagers from their mobile devices while located on casino property. However, lawmakers have introduced several Mississippi online sports betting bills in recent years to change the law and grant licenses to qualified operators.

Based on recent developments, the odds seem to favor legalization sooner rather than later. Until then, other Mississippi online betting options include daily fantasy sports apps, prediction market platforms, and horse racing betting sites.

Until Mississippi legalizes online sports betting, daily fantasy sports contests will continue serving as the closest alternative. All major daily fantasy sites offer their services to residents, and the Mississippi Gaming Commission (MGC) oversees licensed operators to ensure they treat customers fairly.

Mississippi Sports Betting Basics

The first Mississippi sportsbooks opened in August 2018, and many more have opened since. There are nearly 30 sportsbooks in operation, all licensed and regulated by the MGC or local tribal authorities.

Key things to know about Mississippi sports betting:

  • Minimum age of 21 to participate
  • Bettors must visit licensed sportsbooks and place wagers in person
  • Mississippi does not have legal online sports betting
  • Guests may only place mobile wagers when physically located on casino property

Mississippi Sports Betting Apps

Mobile sports betting is available to a limited extent in Mississippi. Under current laws, retail sportsbooks may offer online sports betting to customers who are physically located on casino property.

The BetMGM Mississippi app allows customers to place wagers from anywhere inside Beau Rivage Casino (Biloxi), excluding the hotel tower and parking lot.

Bettors can download the BetMGM Sportsbook app from anywhere in Mississippi, but they can only place wagers when physically present on casino property.

Caesars Sportsbook Mississippi App

Caesars Entertainment owns and operates Harrah's Gulf Coast in Biloxi, which has a Caesars-branded retail sportsbook located just off the casino floor. Fans can visit the sportsbook to place wagers via live betting windows, self-serve kiosks, or the Caesars Sportsbook app.

Fans must be located on casino property to place real-money wagers through the Caesars Sportsbook Mississippi app, but they can sign up, deposit, and withdraw from anywhere in the state.

Will Mississippi Legalize Statewide Mobile Betting?

The odds of Mississippi legalizing full-fledged online sports betting are favorable over the near-to-medium term. In the meantime, bettors must visit land-based casinos to place wagers in person or through mobile apps while located on casino property.

The latest effort to legalize online sports betting in Mississippi emerged from the House in 2024 via HB 774. Also known as the MS Mobile Sports Wagering Act, HB 774 would legalize online betting under these parameters:

  • Mississippi casinos may partner with third-party operators like FanDuel and DraftKings to offer online sports betting, online horse racing betting, or both
  • Licensed Mississippi sports betting sites would pay a 12% tax on revenue
  • Establish a minimum age of 21 to bet on sports online in Mississippi

HB 477 passed the House on a vote of 98-14 and moved to the Senate. The Senate Gaming Committee attached a strike-all amendment to the bill, essentially stripping it of all online sports betting provisions, to give lawmakers more time to negotiate the bill's specifics amid rapidly approaching deadlines.

Lawmakers have introduced more than a dozen Mississippi online sports betting bills since 2020.

The various bills introduced so far in Mississippi are largely similar, with only minor differences in the details. For example, one bill expressly permitted wagers on esports events, while another would have required customers to register online betting accounts in-person at land-based casinos.

Every MS sports betting bill introduced to date has died early in the legislative process, but it’s clear there is a strong desire among some in the legislature to legalize online wagering.

And with online sports betting available in neighboring states, pressure will continue to mount for Mississippi to join the party.

Although Mississippi has thus far been unable to get anything past the finish line, numerous online sportsbooks have everything in place to launch mobile betting should lawmakers pass a bill into law.

Brands such as FanDuel and BetMGM already manage retail sportsbooks across the state, and some have licensing agreements with local casinos for access to the Mississippi online sports betting market (most states require online sportsbook operators to partner with local casinos for market access).

How Mississippi Legalized Sports Betting

Legal sports betting came to Mississippi over two phases between 2017 and 2018. A fantasy sports bill passed in 2017 quietly legalized sports betting by including language repealing the state’s ban on sports betting.

The fantasy sports bill passed, but not without controversy. A faction of lawmakers opposed to sports betting realized they had unwittingly signed onto the legalization of sports betting and introduced a bill to reinstate the ban. However, that effort failed to gain traction, and sports betting has been legal in MS since.

The Supreme Court cleared the way for casinos to take advantage of the law by striking down PASPA, the federal law that prohibited sports betting in most states. The MGC approved regulations two months later to give casinos a path to launching retail sportsbooks.

Under the rules approved by the MGC, casinos may accept sports wagers after submitting an application to the MGC and receiving the approval of its Executive Director.

Mississippi Daily Fantasy Sports

Daily fantasy sports sites are legal in Mississippi for players 18 and older. The Mississippi Gaming Commission regulates daily fantasy sports in Mississippi, issues licenses to operators, and investigates patron complaints.

Mississippi Prediction Markets

Prediction markets of all types are legal in Mississippi.

Mississippi Horse Racing Betting

Mississippi lacks a pari-mutuel racing industry, but horse racing betting is now legal at licensed sportsbooks.

Although it has an entrenched gambling industry, Mississippi never got around to legalizing pari-mutuel wagering at race tracks or OTBs. Legal horse racing betting only materialized after Mississippi officials adopted sports betting regulations in 2018.

Responsible Gambling In Mississippi

Mississippi promotes responsible gambling and offers treatment resources through the Mississippi Gaming Commission (MGC) and a dedicated non-profit council.

  • MS Council on Problem and Compulsive Gambling (MCPCG): Call 1-888-777-9696 or text MSGAMBLER to 53342 to ask questions, get help, find local resources, and understand your treatment options. The Council offers 24/7 confidential support and connects residents with certified gambling counselors.
  • NCPG Mississippi: Call 1-800-522-4700, text 800GAM, or chat online about any concerns you may have about your own play or a loved one and for information about local resources.
  • Gamblers Anonymous Mississippi: Residents and visitors can attend Gamblers Anonymous meetings across Mississippi for group support led by recovered and recovering problem gamblers.

Mississippi Sports Betting Self-Exclusion

The Mississippi Gaming Commission maintains a centralized Statewide Self-Exclusion List, allowing individuals to ban themselves from all licensed casinos with a single application.

Mississippi’s self-exclusion program extends to online sportsbooks, because state law limits mobile wagering to guests who are physically present on casino property.

Players can enroll in the Mississippi self-exclusion program online.

Mississippi does not offer a statewide self-exclusion program for daily fantasy sports or unregulated online betting sites. Instead, bettors must self-exclude from each operator individually.

Additionally, bettors may use third-party tools like Gamban and BetBlocker to self-exclude from all known gambling sites, including legal, gray market, and illegal operators.

Mississippi Sports Betting FAQ

No. Mississippi has only legalized retail sports betting via sportsbooks at licensed casinos. Mississippi online sports betting is limited to customers placing wagers via mobile apps while located on casino grounds.

Fans can bet on sports at retail sportsbooks at most casinos. Scroll up on this page for a complete list of Mississippi sportsbooks.

Legal Mississippi betting apps may only accept wagers from customers located on casino property. If a retail sportsbook offers a mobile sports betting app, guests can download it and place wagers from anywhere within the casino to skip the line at the ticket window.

State law enforces a minimum age of 21 to bet on sports.

Yes, college sports betting is legal in Mississippi.

Regulations approved by the Mississippi Gaming Commission permit sportsbooks to take wagers on college games, but the Commission does not allow prop bets on individual college athletes.

Rule 3.11 on prohibited wagers states:

(a) No wagers may be accepted or paid by any book on:

1. Any amateur sport or athletic event other than;

i. Olympic sporting or athletic events sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, subject to limitation by the Executive Director or the Executive Director's designee in his sole and absolute discretion, and

ii. Collegiate sporting or athletic events;

2. Any sport or athletic event which the licensee knows or reasonably should know, is

being placed by, or on behalf of a coach or participant in that event. Each licensee

shall take reasonable steps to prevent the circumvention of this regulation;

3. The outcome of any election for any public office; and

4. Any event which the Executive Director deems to be contrary to public policy.

No, esports betting is not legal in Mississippi.

Mississippi law does not directly address esports, but the Gaming Commission has not yet added esports betting to its catalog of events approved for wagering.

Although esports wagering is not mentioned, state gambling regulations appear to leave the door open by giving the MGC broad authority to authorize certain types of wagers.

From the regulations (pg. 9):

“A request for approval to accept wagers on an event other than a horse race, greyhound race, or an athletic sports event shall be made by a book on such forms approved by the Executive Director, and shall include:

  1. A full description of the event and the manner in which wagers would be placed and winning wagers would be determined.
  2. A full description of any technology which would be utilized to offer the event.
  3. Such other information or documentation which demonstrates that:
    • The event could be effectively supervised;
    • The outcome of the event would be verifiable;
    • The outcome of the event would be generated by a reliable and independent process;
    • The outcome of the event would be unlikely to be affected by any wager placed;
    • The event could be conducted in compliance with any applicable laws; and
    • The granting of the request for approval would be consistent with the public policy of the state.
  4. Such additional or supplemental information as the Executive Director may require. The decision whether to grant approval to accept wagers on an event other than a horse race, greyhound race, or an athletic sports event shall be based on all relevant information including, but not limited to, the factors in subsection (b)(3) of this section. The Executive Director may subject any technology that would be utilized to offer the event to such testing, investigation and approval process as he deems appropriate.”

The Mississippi Gaming Commission is responsible for issuing sports betting licenses, adopting regulations as needed, approving events for wagering, and overseeing the conduct of sportsbooks.

No. Visitors and guests alike may visit Mississippi sportsbooks and place wagers.

Anyone with questions or concerns regarding problem gambling can contact the Mississippi Council on Problem and Compulsive Gambling for assistance. Patrons may also pick up a self-exclusion request form from any casino to exclude themselves from all Mississippi casinos for five years, ten years, or a lifetime.

Mississippi sports betting began at noon on August 1st, 2018, at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino and Gold Strike Casino. Many additional sportsbooks have opened since.

Mississippi sports betting apps will likely become a reality sooner or later. Lawmakers have shown interest in legalizing online sports betting for several years running, and it seems to be just a matter of time before they reach an agreement on how to regulate it.

Yes. Some casinos offer simulcast horse racing betting at their sportsbooks. However, online horse racing betting is prohibited in Mississippi.
