Rules

Minimum age to place a sports wager

18 · W.S. §9-24-105 sets the minimum age at 18 ("No person under the age of eighteen (18) years shall engage in online sports wagering"); a Legislative Service Office interim-committee memo elsewhere misstates this age as 21.[1],[3]

Wagering on college sports allowed at all

Yes · Wagering on collegiate sports and athletic events is included in the statutory definition of a wagerable "sporting event."[3]

Wagering on in-state college teams allowed

Yes · Wyoming law does not bar wagering on Wyoming college teams specifically.[3]?The statute does not single out in-state college teams; this reflects the absence of any carve-out rather than an explicit statement that Wyoming college teams are wagerable.

Individual college player prop bets allowed

Yes · Proposition bets are among the wager types the law defines as sports wagering, with no carve-out for player props or for college games.[3]?The statute does not address player props by name; this reflects its general, unrestricted "proposition bets" category rather than an explicit rule on player props.

Credit cards may be used to fund accounts

Yes · Credit and debit cards are a statutorily approved funding method ("cash equivalent") for an online sports wagering account.[3]

Esports wagering allowed

Yes · The statutory definition of a wagerable "sporting event" expressly includes electronic sports, so esports wagering is authorized under the same online sports wagering licenses.[3]

New online accounts must be created in person

No · A sports wagering account may be opened electronically through a licensed operator's app or website; the law does not require a patron to visit any location in person to open an account.[3]

Online sports wagering available statewide (not tethered to premises)

Yes · Online sports wagering is offered only through a computer, website, or mobile app; the law has no retail sportsbook category, so wagering is available statewide wherever a patron is physically present in Wyoming.[3]

Operators must use official league data for some bets

No · Wyoming's sports wagering law does not require operators to use official league data for any category of bet.[3]?This reflects the absence of a data-provider mandate in the statute itself; Gaming Commission rules were not reviewed.

   Fetched directly and parsed with pdftotext -layout. Corrects this file's prior citation of the Online Sports Wagering Act to "Title 11, ch. 25" -- it is actually Title 9, Chapter 24, Article 1; Title 11 ch. 25 covers pari-mutuel wagering and skill based amusement games only. Re-fetched and read in full on 2026-10-11 to confirm: no retail wagering location or in-person registration requirement (9-24-101(a)(vi), (xiii)); collegiate and electronic sports included in the "sporting event" definition with no in-state-team or player-prop carve-out (9-24-101(a)(xi)-(xii)); credit/debit cards listed as an approved "cash equivalent" funding method (9-24-101(a)(i)); no official-league-data mandate found anywhere in the chapter; and the revenue distribution in 9-24-104(a).
