Sports Betting Overview: Mississippi

Mississippi was among the first states to offer legal sports betting after PASPA was overturned, launching retail sportsbooks in August 2018. However, the state has not legalized online or mobile sports betting — all wagers must be placed in person at one of the state's licensed casino properties. Mississippi's casinos, concentrated along the Gulf Coast in Biloxi and in the Tunica region, serve as the primary sports betting destinations. The state allows wagering on professional and college sports. While the retail-only limitation restricts market growth, Mississippi's early mover status and established casino infrastructure maintain a steady flow of bettors, especially during football season.
