    Are Prediction Markets Legal in My State?

    State-by-state legality checker for prediction markets. Each status traces to a primary source — court docket, state statute, CFTC filing, or official platform terms. No status renders until we verify the primary source directly.

    This page reflects current law and court orders — it is not legal advice. Prediction market law is actively changing in more than a dozen states. Court orders can shift with little notice. Verify your state's status at each platform's official site before depositing funds.

    Select a state above to see its current legal status.

    How this data works

    Primary sources only

    Every status traces to a court docket, state statute, CFTC filing, or the platform's own terms of service. Affiliate trackers and press reports are used to find leads — never as citations.

    No-data means no guess

    If we haven't verified a state against a primary source, we display nothing. A blank row is more accurate than a stale or inferred status.

    Law changes fast

    Court orders in the prediction market space have shifted with 72-hour notice. This page is reviewed weekly, but always confirm at the platform before depositing.

    No commercial relationships

    PredictionMarkets.us has no financial relationship with any platform. Ratings and status entries are independent of any affiliate or referral arrangement.

    Frequently asked questions
