π¦ BetMGM Wyoming
BetMGM has one of the best sign-up bonuses in sports betting: your first wager up to $1,000 is comped with bonus bets if the bet loses. Use BetMGM bonus code Wyoming BONUSMGM to get the welcome bonus. If you bet more than $50, you get five bonus bets worth equal value; if you bet less than $50, you get one bonus bet. Your new bets need to be wagered just once before you can withdraw the cash winnings.
BetMGM Sportsbook Wyoming started to accept bets on September 1, 2021. It is one of the top sportsbooks in the entire country with competitive odds and numerous sports betting markets. BetMGM has markets that are missing from its biggest competitors so it’s well worth your time if you enjoy betting on sports like alpine skiing and volleyball. You also get automatically signed up for the MGM Rewards, which includes perks for the online sportsbook as well as retail locations.
π DraftKings Wyoming
DraftKings Sportsbook has the lone deposit bonus offer in the state of Wyoming, and it’s great especially for experienced bettors. You get your first deposit matched 20% up to $1,000, meaning you get the full $1,000 if you deposit $5,000. Your bonus money must be wagered 25 times (every $25 wagered unlocks $1 of bonus money), which can seem like a lot for new sports bettors. That’s why we recommend you consider how much you intend to wager before claiming the DK welcome bonus as you might not get through the wagering in the required amount of time.
DraftKings was the second of the first two sportsbooks to go online in Wyoming and offer sports wagers. DK dominates the daily fantasy sports industry with FanDuel, so it was no surprise to see them tackle the online betting side early on. DraftKings has all the popular sports, favorite teams, and tons of available bets; they often provide the best odds for football. DraftKings also has a loyalty program and they offer promos for existing customers from time to time.
π£ FanDuel WY
FanDuel also has a $1,000 bonus, a No Sweat Bet offer for your qualifying wager. Just like BetMGM, FanDuel comps you up to $1,000 if your initial wager loses. You get just one bet credit, but you can use it on virtually anything on the site. If your credit wins, you can cash out the winnings but not the stake.
FanDuel launched as the third active sportsbook in Wyoming online wagering in March 2022. FanDuel is one of the best sportsbooks in the country, and does not lag behind the other two when it comes to betting features and live streaming. FanDuel also pays out quickly, and their mobile app is a great choice for new bettors, as all features are easily accessible.
ποΈ Caesars WY
Caesars Wyoming has the largest welcome bonus in the state. New bettors get a $1,250 First Bet on Caesars and 1,000 Tier Credits + 1,000 Rewards Credits. If your first wager is graded as a loss, you’ll get site credit back. Again, if your bet wins, you can only claim the winnings and not the stake, which goes back to Caesars. The Tier and Rewards Credits are a nice way to get started with Caesars Rewards, one of the best loyalty programs in U.S. gaming.
Caesars Sportsbook was the fourth sportsbook operator to start catering to WY bettors with their excellent sportsbook. Caesars offers great NFL promo options during the regular season and playoffs, plenty of live markets for many sports, and several partnerships with sports leagues and teams. In addition, NFL fans can now follow games through the Caesars Watch & Bet feature, which is available for active users.
Upcoming Sports Betting Sites
Wyoming has no limit on the number of sports betting sites that can operate in the state, although regulators mentioned five brands as the minimum. In addition to the four online sportsbooks now in operation, PointsBet and Barstool Sportsbook have been approved for permits but neither has confirmed when they will begin taking bets in Wyoming. Only sportsbooks operating in three or more states will be approved for licenses, but there are several online betting operators who might be interested in joining the Wyoming market.
β Wyoming Sports Betting Promo
The four mobile sports betting apps have bonuses for new Wyoming sports bettors.
Most online sportsbooks offer bonuses to new players and also have ongoing promos to returning players. You can find all Wyoming sports betting bonuses on BonusFinder US. In order to get any of the bonus offers, you have to make a minimum deposit. There might also be restrictions on the types of bets you can make and on the minimum odds. Ongoing promotions have their own set of rules that you must follow in order to get the promo funds.
Second Chance Bets
As you saw above, second chance bets come with many different names, but they all mean the same thing. You place your first bet and if you lose, you get refunded in site credit worth your bet. Some sites give you several credits while others just one. If you win with your credits, you only get the winnings and the book takes back the stake. This means the bonus has 1x wagering, since you can’t withdraw the site credit but only need to bet it once before it turns into cash. Wyoming sports bettors can currently claim three bonuses like this, since BetMGM, FanDuel, and Caesars all provide a bonus like this.
Deposit Match Bonuses
Some sportsbooks offer first deposit match bonuses. They match a deposit up to a certain percentage, leaving you with extra money to play. For example, the DraftKings bonus is 20% up to $1,000. This means a $100 deposit earns you $20 extra funds. Match bonuses usually have higher wagering requirements than second chance bets: DK’s playthrough requirement is 25x. If you don’t bet often, this can be a lot, so keep it in mind when choosing a bonus. Other brands in the U.S., like Betsafe, have lower wagering demands, so they can vary a lot among sportsbooks.
Bet Matches
Currently no operator in WY offers a bet match bonus, but should WynnBET go live in Wyoming, you might see this bonus. Once you’ve placed your first real money wager, you get a matching bet posted on your online account. Sometimes you need to win your first bet to get the bonus, but that’s not common. Another version of this bonus is Bet & Get, where the difference is that the bet credit might not bet identical to the initial bet. For example, bet365’s bonus is Bet $1, Get $200, while WynnBET offers a Bet $100, Get $100.
Sportsbook Promo Codes
You only need a promo code for the BetMGM bonus: BONUSMGM. FanDuel, Caesars, and DraftKings do not require bonus codes. When other Wyoming promo codes and betting promos become available, you can check them out right here.
Ongoing Promotions
In addition to new user bonuses, you can sometimes see promotions for existing users on sportsbooks. You might need to bet a certain amount on a certain sport in order to be eligible, or be otherwise active on the platform. You can check out the rules for each promo on the sportsbook sites. There are some common offers you see quite often:
- Refer A Friend: If your friend signs up using your code and places a bet, you both get some bonus funds.
- Parlay Insurance: You can protect your parlays from one losing leg; with the insurance, you get some money back if one leg misses.
- Odds Boost: Sportsbooks boost odds for a handful of games every day. Keep checking to make sure you don’t miss attractive odds boosts on your favorite sports
- Bets on the Big Game: Super Bowl is the most important game day in U.S. betting. You’ll find all sorts of promos prior to the game on all sportsbooks.
β Wyoming Betting Apps
Sports betting in Wyoming is available through sports betting apps. We don’t yet know how many Wyoming sports betting apps will be available. Unlike some states, the Cowboy State does not restrict the number of mobile sports betting licenses it hands out.
All legal Wyoming sportsbook apps work on any mobile device. You should always check first how to download the mobile app on your mobile devices since not all sportsbook operators’ apps are downloadable from the Google Play Store.

Sports Bet Types & Odds
Sportsbooks vary in the odds they offer for each game, but you can usually find a favorite and an underdog. Betting on the underdog means higher returns if your bet is a winner since it’s considered less likely to win. BetMGM, DraftKings, and FanDuel have a thorough selection of betting options for customers and offer similar odds on most games. The most popular bets are single bets; moneyline, spread, and total. Single-game parlay, which lets you choose multiple legs for a wager within a single game, is also popular.
Bet Types |
BetMGM |
DraftKings |
Spread |
Wyoming +3 -105 San Jose St -3 -115 |

Other wagers you can make include player props, parlays, live bets, and futures. You can check the current odds from the WY sportsbooks before you wager online. You don’t need to be an experienced bettor to place a bet, as you can find all the details you need on most sportsbooks.
- Prop Bets: Every top Wyoming sports betting app has a ton of proposition sports bets you can choose from.
- Parlays: In addition to same-game parlays, you can place “classic” parlays. This means adding wagers like point spread or moneyline from various games to the same bet.
- Futures: Betting on future winners and the winning bets can net you a lot.

β Registering for a Sportsbook in Wyoming
Legal sports betting is monitored closely, even on the federal level, so you need to know a few things before you register for sportsbook accounts. Many states require bettors to provide basic personal information, like name, phone number, and social security number, when they first sign up. This is just a formality to verify your identity, and all legal sportsbooks follow this approach.
Online Banking
You must then place a deposit to get the bonus before placing a bet for the first time. Deposit options include debit cards, credit cards, prepaid cards, bank transfers, and PayPal. Withdrawal options are similar, but some offer withdrawals with a paper check. Processing times for withdrawals can take up to a few days, but most people get their funds out quicker. Always check your chosen sportsbook for their banking methods.
Cryptocurrency
Wyoming sportsbooks offer the common banking options, but what separates it from other states is that they are the first state to allow cryptocurrency as one of the deposit methods. None of the books offer the option, but DraftKings has expanded into the NFT business and will be at the forefront of digital currencies.
β Sports Betting in Wyoming
Wyoming sports betting launched in September 2021; the state of Wyoming became the second state to operate betting completely online. Both daily fantasy sports contests and betting operators can apply for online sports betting licenses, and Wyoming residents are able to participate in online sports betting. The sports wagering legislation extends to mobile betting only, although the land-based casinos located in the Wind River Indian Reservation and operated by the two Native American Tribes might seek to make retail betting legal in Wyoming as well. Horse racing wagering is already available; for example, Wyoming Downs operates several off-track betting facilities such as the Energy Downs in Gillette.
Like in most states, the main concern around legalizing sports betting was that gambling problems will increase once legal sports betting becomes available. Wyoming’s government decided to allocate $300,000 every year from the sports betting revenue to statewide resources for gambling addiction treatment. Due to Wyoming’s small population, this is quite a sizable chunk.
β Conclusion
Wyoming sports betting industry is an interesting addition to the states with legal sportsbooks. The least-populated state in the U.S. can have an unlimited number of legal online sportsbook providers and Wyoming’s casinos are looking to join in on the fun. Wyoming residents can enjoy top-of-the-line mobile sports betting and a competitive market. The tax rate is reasonable and a good chunk of the Wyoming sports betting revenue is going to the people with gambling problems. The Cowboy State is off to a good start with the legal WY sports betting market.

β Wyoming Sports Betting FAQ
-
1οΈβ£ Is online sports betting legal in Wyoming?
-
Yes, sports betting is legal! Wyoming legalized sports betting in April 2021. The sports betting bill was officially approved by the state lawmakers in the Wyoming House and Wyoming Senate and signed by Governor Mark Gordon. Wyoming bettors can legally wager at top sportsbooks like DraftKings Sportsbook and BetMGM. Wyoming is one of only two states (joining Tennessee) where sports betting is entirely online. There are currently no retail sportsbook operators in the state, and Wyoming online casino gaming is not legal.
-
2οΈβ£ Whatβs the legal gambling age in Wyoming?
-
You have to be 18 years old or older to bet in Wyoming legally on a sportsbook app. Many other states have a legal betting age requirement of 21, so the Wyoming law is one of only a handful of states to set the minimum age at 18 years.
All live sportsbooks will require ID to verify your age before you can bet. Make sure you have that on hand when you register.
-
3οΈβ£ How do I know if a Wyoming sports betting site is legit?
-
As long as an online sportsbook has applied to operate through the Wyoming Gaming Commission (formerly Wyoming Pari-Mutuel Commission) and received approval from the Gaming Commission, itβs legit. You can get started with some of the best - and most legit - sports betting sites: FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM Sportsbook. These are sports betting industry giants and participated in the process of legalizing WY sports betting. Wyoming has received at least four letters of intent to enter the market, so soon you'll be able to check out many sportsbooks before you place bets. Each sportsbook platform follows responsible gaming regulations, so all licensed sportsbooks are trustworthy.
-
4οΈβ£ Is there retail betting in Wyoming?
-
Not at the moment, although one of the tribes is looking into opening retail sports betting at the tribal casinos operated by them. It is unclear whether the Wyoming Gaming Commission has sports betting rules that allow retail casinos to have sports betting revenue, but it was not explicitly forbidden in the Rep. Tom Walters sponsored sports betting bills. It remains to be seen if any Wyoming casinos open retail sportsbooks on the Wind River Reservation.
-
5οΈβ£ What can I bet on in Wyoming?
-
Sportsbooks in Wyoming offer a variety of sports, including the likes of football, NBA, MLB, golf, and college sports. Wyoming Gaming Commission regulations don't ban in-state college wagers, so betting on Wyoming college sports programs is okay.
