Legality Of Political Betting Markets In The US

The overall legality of political betting markets in the US is pretty simple to understand. Even though sports betting has taken the United States by storm, political betting is a completely different issue. Right now, all legal sportsbooks in the country are not allowed to take bets on the 2020 Presidential elections or any other election around the country. Most states specifically have laws against sportsbooks providing odds on any elections.

Just because its illegal doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

You may have missed my apology back up the thread, it turns out that betting on Presidential elections is legal, despite the sites I found saying different.

Predictit is the big player in the field, I guess they could be asked if they have paid out yet.

What about betting in other countries - esp. Australia and UK?
