Sports Betting Overview: Montana

Montana legalized sports betting in 2019 through HB 725, with the market launching in March 2020.

Sports wagering is available through licensed bars, restaurants, and taverns with existing video gambling machine licenses, as well as through a mobile app that requires initial registration at a licensed location. Montana allows wagering on most professional and college sports.
