Oklahoma Sports Betting
All Oklahoma sports betting bills introduced to date have failed, but the odds of legalization improve every year. Although recent Oklahoma online sports betting bills have died quickly, lawmakers and tribal gaming operators seem motivated to pass a bill that all stakeholders approve of.
Other Oklahoma online betting options include daily fantasy sports and pari-mutuel horse racing betting sites.

Oklahoma Sports Betting Outlook
Sports betting is not legal in Oklahoma, but legalization efforts are gaining momentum as lawmakers introduce legislation to legalize retail sportsbooks and online sports betting every year.
The biggest challenge facing Oklahoma sports betting proponents is finding a plan that satisfies tribal gaming operators, who contend their gaming compacts with the state give them exclusivity over sports betting.
The most recent Oklahoma online sports betting efforts took the form of two bills introduced in 2024. Both proposals died shortly after their introductions:
SB 1434: SB 1434 would authorize the Oklahoma Lottery Commission to enter contracts with tribal gaming groups to offer in-person sports betting, provided the agreements are approved by the Governor and the Joint Committee on State-Tribal Relations.
In addition, the Commission could issue online sports betting licenses to qualified tribal and non-tribal applicants.
Oklahoma’s tribal operators opposed the plan due to its lack of tribal exclusivity, and SB 1434 failed to advance during the legislative session.
HB 1027: HB 1027, first introduced by Rep. Ken Luttrell in 2023, carried over to the 2024 legislative session but saw no action.
If approved, the bill would have allowed tribal operators to open retail sportsbooks and offer online sports wagering under tribal gaming compacts with the state.

Oklahoma fantasy sports sites operate in legally uncertain territory because existing laws do not address the legality of DFS contests. However, all popular fantasy sports sites, pick ’em apps, and other operators accept Oklahoma residents.
As is the case in many states, fantasy sports sites operate in Oklahoma under the assumption that they offer legal contests of skill, not unlicensed gambling. As a result, players have no shortage of daily fantasy sports apps to choose from in Oklahoma.

Online casinos and poker sites are not legal in Oklahoma, but sweepstakes gambling sites are allowed under current law.
Previously, the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma attempted to bring online poker and casino games to Oklahoma, but that effort halted in 2014 due to federal intervention and tribal politics.
As it stands now, there are no plans in place to expand online gambling in Oklahoma.
In 2013, the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes came to an agreement with OK Governor Mary Fallin to host online poker games for state residents. The tribe invested nearly $9.5 million in PokerTribes.com and set up a website that promised to host real money online gambling.
The US Department of the Interior stepped in and put an end to the deal, arguing that state lawmakers had no authority to sanction such an agreement.
Cheyenne and Arapaho sued the Department of Interior but later dropped the lawsuit after a shift in tribal politics brought a new tribe governor into power in 2014.
Eddie Hamilton changed key gambling personnel, ordered the lawsuit to be dropped, and PokerTribes.com folded amid the legal troubles.
For the time being internet poker is prohibited in Oklahoma, and state gaming laws make it illegal to participate in poker anywhere outside of an Indian casino.
Oklahoma Online Lottery
The Oklahoma Lottery hasn’t yet introduced online sales, but it seems increasingly likely to move that direction. State lottery officials have embraced mobile tech in other ways, such as online prize claims, and have every incentive to launch online sales to boost revenue.

Oklahoma Gambling Law
Legal gambling in Oklahoma is hosted on tribal lands under compacts between the state and 33 tribes.
The tribes mostly self-regulate but Oklahoma has a Gaming Compliance Unit responsible for carrying out the state’s oversight responsibilities under each compact.
Oklahoma law currently allows tribes to most forms of gambling, except from sports betting.
Different tribes have different licenses for casinos of various sizes. Smaller casinos tend to consist of a few gaming machines while large resort-style casinos offer slots, table games, and poker.
Gambling outside of licensed casinos is heavily regulated. Oklahoma does not even provide an exemption for private games between friends.
§21-942 of the State Statutes make it a crime to bet on or play any gambling game not authorized by the state:
Any person who bets or plays at any of said prohibited games, or who shall bet or play at any games whatsoever, for money, property, checks, credits or other representatives of value with cards, dice or any other device which may be adapted to or used in playing any game of chance or in which chance is a material element, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00), nor more than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term of not less than one (1) day, nor more than thirty (30) days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
The penalties for organizing an unlawful gambling game are significantly harsher.
§21-941 has this to say on the subject:
Except as provided in the Oklahoma Charity Games Act, every person who opens, or causes to be opened, or who conducts, whether for hire or not, or carries on either poker, roulette, craps or any banking or percentage, or any gambling game played with dice, cards or any device, for money, checks, credits, or any representatives of value, or who either as owner or employee, whether for hire or not, deals for those engaged in any such game, shall be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), nor more than Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00), and by imprisonment in the State Penitentiary for a term of not less than one (1) year nor more than ten (10) years.
