Washington
Sports betting is legal in Washington state, but you can only bet in person at tribal sportsbooks. The legislature has discussed bringing mobile betting to the state, but the tribes have a monopoly on gambling in WA and haven't wanted to add mobile betting yet.
Online Sportsbooks, DFS Sites, and Social Casinos in Washington
Washington DFS and Social Sportsbooks
Washington state has unusually strict laws regarding DFS and Social Casinos. In fact, not a single DFS operator is available in the state due to the fact that state regulators classified DFS as a game of luck rather than a game of skill. In an unusual twist, under WA law any wagering of money on a game of luck is considered a felony, so if a DFS operator tried to accept deposits from WA residents they would technically be committing a felony. Unsurprisingly, this has led to DFS and social sportsbook operators not touching WA with a 10-foot pole and has resulted in a bunch of frustrated Washington sports fans.
