Where Is It Legal to Bet on the NFL Online?

Online sports betting is currently legal in a number of US states and the list is constantly being expanded as legislation changes. States like New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois State already have a number of licensed online sportsbooks accepting wagers on NFL games fully legally. There are even websites that operate across state lines in states where regulation has taken place. One such example is the DraftKings Sportsbook, which accepts players from both New Jersey and West Virginia who travel into the state to place bets. If you’re currently located in one of the legalized states, check out our comprehensive list of NFL betting bonuses.

What About Offshore Online Gambling Websites?

We strongly advise against registering and using unlicensed offshore online sportsbooks like Bovada or MyBookie. These sites are not regulated by any US state governments and there is nothing that guarantees your protection as a US resident. Not to mention the fact that it is illegal to bet with these websites. We recommend you steer clear from them!

What If My State Doesn’t Allow Legal Betting on the NFL?

If you are not one of the lucky US residents living in a state that has regulated betting on sports like the NFL, you might still have some options. Although not the same as betting on real-life NFL games, betting on fantasy football is a realistic option for residents of most US states. If you can, we strongly recommend playing with either DraftKings or FanDuel as two of the best daily fantasy sports providers. If you can’t decide between the two, take a look at our comparison of DraftKings DFS and FanDuel DFS.
