Wisconsin sports betting is legal only at tribal casinos — statewide online is signed into law but not yet live. Tribal casinos and on-reservation apps operate under compacts. Gov. Evers signed AB 601 as 2025 Wisconsin Act 247 (Apr 9, 2026) to authorize statewide online, but new compacts are needed first. Age 21 (varies by tribe).
