Alright, so here’s the deal—I was in Wisconsin last weekend visiting some family (my cousin just moved to Milwaukee), and of course, the Super Bowl was on. Being the sports betting guy in the family, I had one job: place our bets. But here’s where things got tricky.
I pulled out my phone, went to log in to my sportsbook, and boom—"Sports betting is not available in your location." Wait, is sports betting legal in Wisconsin? Turns out, it’s complicated.
I found out the Oneida Casino near Green Bay was taking bets, but I wasn’t about to drive hours just to place a prop bet on Travis Kelce scoring a TD. That’s when I really started wondering, is mobile sports betting legal in Wisconsin? Short answer: No, not yet.
I kept digging, hoping there was some kind of legal mobile sports betting option, but nope—Wisconsin still doesn’t allow statewide mobile sports betting. You have to physically be at the casino to bet, even if you use an app.
So if you’re wondering, "What sports betting is legal in Wisconsin?"—right now, it’s mostly in tribal-run sportsbooks like the Oneida Nation. If you’re anywhere else in the state, you’re out of luck.
Anyone else run into this issue? When do you think Wisconsin will finally allow full mobile betting?
