Indiana Sportsbooks


It is a surprise to a lot of people when they find out that Indiana has a thriving casino industry that consists of nearly a dozen casinos and three off-track betting locations. Despite this, it is that thriving casino industry and an overall accepting attitude towards gambling that allowed for sports betting to be legalized in the state in September of 2019. In addition to the wide array of physical sports betting locations, Indiana also approved mobile and online sports betting in October of 2019.

The way in which sports betting works in Indiana is as straightforward as one can imagine. So long as you can prove that you are at least 21 years of age or older, you are able to gamble at both online and brick and mortar locations.

There is mobile betting in Indiana, but there also exists plenty of brick and mortar locations where players can place wagers.

Types of Sports Betting in Indiana

We have to give Indiana credit because their Gaming Commission’s website does a very good job of tracking what sports and leagues can be wagered upon. From a bettor’s perspective, the sports betting rules in Indiana are no different than they are in most other states where sports betting is legal. Betting on any amateur events or events with participants who are 18 years of age and younger is not permitted. What’s more, betting on eSports and politics is not allowed. The only non-sports market permitted is listed under “Other Events” on the IGC website and includes Academy Award winners.

With regard to live betting, things are a little bit different in Indiana than they are in other states. For example, live bets that are taken must be settled at a “natural break” in the competition, meaning quarters, halves, periods, or other specified breaks. Wagers regarding what happens during a single basketball possession or on a lone offensive drive in football will not be permitted for in-game betting.

Online and Mobile Sports Betting in Indiana

Online sports betting in Indiana features many of the same players that you will see in markets like New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Something else that makes Indiana similar to other states with online and mobile sports betting is the fact that all online operators must be partnered with a physical sports betting location.

Being that a majority of people will be placing sports bets in Indiana from their phones, it goes without saying that all online sportsbooks in the state also boast a mobile application. These apps can be downloaded directly from the sportsbook site if you have an Android, or can be downloaded from the App Store for iOS users. As far as functionality goes, users will be able to enjoy all the amenities of the online sportsbook from their mobile devices. In other words, all betting markets are available for mobile sportsbook apps and live betting is too. There should be almost no differences between online sportsbooks and their mobile applications other than the layout and organization. Making deposits and executing withdrawals can also be completed via mobile applications as well.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that all online/mobile sportsbooks in Indiana will be required to use your device’s GPS function to ensure that bettors are physically located within the Hoosier State when placing bets. This is a legal requirement and you will not be able to place wagers if your GPS function is not activated.
