About Sports Betting in Indiana

In Indiana, anyone who is 21 years of age or older and located within the state can legally place a sports wager. This can be done at retail sportsbooks located in casinos, racetracks, or off-track betting facilities, or online using a mobile device or computer. The Indiana Gaming Commission regulates all legal mobile sports betting, and users must be within state borders to place bets, as confirmed by geofencing software. Indiana sports betting sites allow remote registration and funding of accounts from anywhere within the state. However, winnings from all types of gambling, including sports betting, are taxable in Indiana, and casinos typically withhold 25% of winnings if the winner does not provide their SSN.

There are some limitations, including no college player prop betting and constraints on in-play betting.

Are Offshore Sportsbooks Available?

Yes, there are several offshore sports betting options available in Indiana residents. Some wagerers prefer the offshore sports betting options because they only need to sign up for one account to bet across the USA. If you sign up at an Indiana sportsbook you will need to register with another sportsbook if you cross state lines.
