Mississippi Sports Betting Overview

Retail only. Mobile permitted only on casino property.

Mississippi has retail sports wagering at its 28 commercial casinos since August 2018, but mobile betting is only allowed ON casino property. The 2024 push for statewide mobile (HB 774) passed the House but stalled in the Senate. The retail-mobile gap makes Mississippi an unusually restricted legal market.
