Indiana Sports Betting – Where to Bet in Indiana

Indiana Sports Betting

Sports betting has been legal in Indiana since May 2019, with online wagering following shortly after; beginning in October 2019. Betting in Indiana is super simple. Unlike other states, everything, including registration and deposits, can be done online!

Indiana has a respectable 12 online casino offerings. The state’s legislature has made sports betting easy for its operators as well as consumers. They don’t have any crazy betting restrictions and offer very competitive taxes and fees for casinos operating in the Hoosier State.

That, combined with their proximity to major cities whose states have restrictive or no sports betting, makes Indiana an attractive state for online casinos. There are currently 14 brick-and-mortar casinos in the state, so there is definitely room for expansion in the online sports betting market.
