Nebraska

Sports betting is legal in Nebraska, but mobile apps are not available at this time. Right now sports betting is only available at a handful of retail sportsbooks in the state. The legislature approved sports betting in 2021 with the passing of LB 561, but mobile betting apps remain elusive.

While the wait is on for mobile sports betting, Nebraska bettors can play PrizePicks, which is a leading Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) provider. PrizePicks is a unique over/under platform that prompts users to select their favorite players. Use promo code for the following offer:

Is online sports betting legal in Nebraska?

No, online sports betting is not legal in Nebraska. In-person wagering is legal and available at the state's casinos, but mobile betting is not allowed.

Will online sports betting come to Nebraska?

It is possible that the state legislature will vote to legalize mobile wagering sometime in 2025, but it is far from certain. Nothing will happen until late 2025 at the earliest.

More specifically, users just have to place their bets, pick their favorite players and choose over/under totals for a chance to win cash. New users can claim the following offer:

Sports Betting Mistakes to Avoid

Betting on your favorite teams might seem like a no-brainer, but you need to be responsible if you're going to sustain in the sports betting world. Here are nine mistakes to avoid.

Nebraska Teams

Nebraska Teams to Bet On

Whether you're visiting for a game or exploring the natural beauty, Nebraska has plenty to offer. The state is home to several major sporting events, including the College World Series and the Nebraska Cornhuskers football games.

In addition to local attractions, the landscape of legal sports betting in neighboring states such as South Dakota presents both challenges and opportunities for Nebraska. As South Dakota continues to develop its sports betting market, Nebraska must navigate the competitive environment and consider potential regulatory changes.

While there are no professional teams in Nebraska, the state has several college teams to bet on:

NCAA football icon logo.svgCollege Football Betting

Nebraska logo Nebraska Cornhuskers Football

One of the most storied college football programs in the country, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are the only Division I football program in the state. They have five total National Championships and 26 bowl victories. They play at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, which is one of the rowdiest stadiums in all of college football.

The Cornhuskers haven't faired well in the past 20 years, however. Since 1997, Nebraska has shuffled through five different head coaches and haven't been to a bowl game since the 2016 season. The Cornhuskers are currently led by coach Matt Rhule.

Nebraska logo Nebraska Cornhuskers Men's Basketball

Unlike their football counterparts, Nebraska's basketball team has seldom had success since beginning in 1897. They are the only major conference program in the country that has never won an NCAA tournament game, despite having seven appearances in their history.

The Cornhuskers are led by former Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg, who coached the team to just 14 total wins in his first two seasons.

Creighton logo Creighton Bluejays Men's Basketball

The winningest basketball program in the Cornhusker state is the Creighton Bluejays. Creighton has 1,534 all-time wins and 22 total appearances in the NCAA tournament. Once Creighton makes the tournament, they historically do well, advancing past the first round seven total times.

The Bluejays are led by coach Greg McDermott, who has been the coach for twelve seasons. 

Creighton Bluejays

Omaha Mavericks Men's Basketball

The Omaha Maverick's are one of 44 teams to have never made the NCAA tournament. They compete in the Summit League and play their home games at the Baxter Arena. They had decent success when they were a Division II program, but haven't done much since leaping to DI.

The Mavericks are led by coach Chris Crutchfield.
