Legal online sports betting is available in more than 30 US states plus Washington DC as of early 2025, which means the vast majority of American adults can place a legal wager on Super Bowl LX from their phones. A handful of major-population states — notably California, Texas, Utah, and Hawaii — remain off the table entirely.
Which States Allow Legal Super Bowl LX Betting?
The following states have legalized and launched online sports betting, confirmed per the American Gaming Association state gaming map: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Virginia, Tennessee, Arizona, Connecticut, Louisiana, Ohio, Maryland, Massachusetts, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Vermont, among others. Each state has a licensed regulator that oversees operators and approves which books can legally accept your wager.
Tennessee is a notable edge case — the state permits online-only sports betting with no retail sportsbook option, and the minimum age is 21, matching most other legal states.
Where Is Super Bowl LX Betting Illegal or Unavailable?
Utah and Hawaii prohibit all gambling with no pending legalization as of early 2025. Texas and California have seen repeated legislative pushes that have stalled each session — neither state has legal online sports betting. Georgia introduced sports betting legislation in recent sessions, but its passage status for 2025 was unresolved at the time of our last review. Florida's situation involves ongoing legal challenges around the Seminole Tribe's Hard Rock Bet platform; confirm local status before registering.

How to Verify Your State's Legal Betting Status
Check your state gaming regulator's official website for a list of approved operators before depositing. Do not rely on an operator's self-reported claims alone. If you're unsure whether an app is licensed where you live, cross-reference the operator name against the regulator's approved-vendor list — that's the only authoritative source.
