AI outlook · Oct 12, 2026

South Carolina remains one of the most restrictive gambling states, with no casinos, sports betting, or online gambling outside the Education Lottery and charitable bingo. The 2025-2026 session ended without any gambling expansion. Two lottery-related bills died in committee: H5057, which would have expanded lottery ticket sales, and S169, which would have allowed debit card purchases. No other gambling proposals survived, and the live bills were unrelated resolutions and a higher education act.

What to watch: No gambling measures can move until the next regular session begins in January 2027. There are no live bills or active committees, and legislative interest has been low, so a major expansion is unlikely in the short term.
