North Dakota Sports Betting
Legal North Dakota sports betting options consist of retail sportsbooks at tribal casinos. Lawmakers have not yet legalized online sports betting in North Dakota, and it’s unclear if there’s enough support in the legislature to pass a bill.
Currently, legal online betting options in North Dakota include horse racing betting sites and daily fantasy sports apps. Prediction market platforms are also available in North Dakota, allowing fans to trade yes/no contracts on game winners, player stat totals, and more.

North Dakota Sports Betting Overview
North Dakota is home to several retail sportsbooks at tribal casinos:
- 4 Bears Casino Sportsbook in New Town
- Grand Treasure Casino Sportsbook in Trenton
- Sky Dancer Casino Sportsbook in Belcourt
- Dakota Nation Sportsbook at Dakota Magic Casino in Hankinson
- Spirit Lake Casino Sportsbook in Saint Michael
- Prairie Knights Casino Sportsbook in Fort Yates
Although North Dakota has never formally legalized sports betting, tribal gaming operators offer retail sportsbooks under gaming compacts they reached with the state in 2013. Each compact authorizes a sportsbook as long as it doesn’t violate the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA):
G. Sports Book except as prohibited by the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act
When the Supreme Court overturned PASPA in 2018, that condition became moot, clearing the way for tribal casinos to open sportsbooks in North Dakota.
North Dakota Online Sports Betting
Online sports betting is illegal in North Dakota, and legalization faces a steep path.
The North Dakota Constitution prohibits all gambling except the lottery, charity gaming, and tribal casinos. That means the only way to legalize online sports betting in North Dakota is through a constitutional amendment, which would require legislative action and voter approval in a statewide referendum.
Lawmakers have declined to take that step every time it has come up. Most recently, the House rejected a 2025 resolution (HCR 3002) that would have put sports betting on the 2026 general election ballot.
The North Dakota legislature meets only in odd-numbered years, so the next opportunity to advance a similar measure is the 2027 session. If a resolution passes then, the question would go to voters in November 2028 at the earliest.

Online casinos and poker sites are prohibited in North Dakota.
However, sweepstakes casinos offer a nearly identical experience by leveraging a “no purchase necessary” loophole to avoid meeting the state’s legal definition of illegal gambling. Regulators in some states have cracked down on sweepstakes casinos, but that has not happened in North Dakota. Currently, all major sweepstakes casino sites remain available in North Dakota.
North Dakota Online Gambling Laws
The Criminal Code of North Dakota considers gambling to be any activity in which the participants risk:
“Any money, credit, deposit, or other thing of value for gain, contingent, wholly or partially, upon lot, chance, the operation of gambling apparatus, or the happening or outcome of an event, including an election or sporting event, over which the person taking the risk has no control.”
Currently, North Dakota law prohibits the operation of most online gambling sites.
North Dakota’s gaming tribes revived the issue in 2022 by requesting amendments to their gaming compacts that would authorize statewide online sports betting.
Governor Burgum rejected the request because he didn’t have the authority to expand North Dakota gambling, but he did grant the tribes two concessions: allowing them to reduce the legal gambling age from 21 to 19 at tribal casinos, and allowing patrons to use credit and debit cards.
North Dakota Online Lottery
The North Dakota Lottery was established in 2004 after voters approved a constitutional amendment authorizing the sale of tickets to multistate drawings.
Residents 18 and older can buy North Dakota lottery tickets online.
Responsible Gambling in North Dakota
Responsible gambling starts with clear limits: treat gambling as entertainment, set a budget/time cap in advance, and avoid chasing losses. If it’s no longer fun or it’s affecting your finances, relationships, or sense of well-being, now is a good time to talk to someone.
North Dakota has state-level responsible gambling resources, and the state lottery also provides tools and information for problem gambling prevention and treatment.

- NCPG North Dakota: call 1-800-522-4700, text 800GAM, or chat online for 24/7 support, information, and treatment referrals.
North Dakota Sports Betting Self-Exclusion
North Dakota does not maintain a statewide self-exclusion database for all forms of gambling, but players do have some options:
- Tribal Casino Self-Exclusion: Under current tribal-state compacts, each tribe manages its own internal exclusion programs. As a result, players must self-exclude from each property individually.
- ND Sports Betting: Legal sports betting in North Dakota is limited to retail sportsbooks at tribal casinos. Self-excluding from tribal casinos covers sports betting by extension.
- Charitable Gaming Machines: Unfortunately, there is no mechanism to self-exclude from all pull-tab machines statewide.
- Online Blocking: The most effective way to block access to unregulated or illegal gambling sites and online sportsbooks is through tools like Gamban and BetBlocker.
