- Indiana may not ready for legal sports betting by September 1.
- The Indiana Gaming Commission still has plenty of work to do before their meeting on August 28.
- The legal sports betting age in Indiana will be 21 years-old.
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana sports betting was expected to be up and running by September 1, with sports betting license applications able to be considered starting July 1. The projected start date for legal sports betting in Indiana may be delayed, however.
The Indiana Gaming Commission still needs to get details together in order for sports betting to run smoothly in the state. Land-based betting is projected to emerge first. Online sports betting, one of the most convenient methods of betting on sports in the country, is planned to start sometime after land-based sports betting materializes in Indiana.
Indiana could potentially partner with online sportsbooks such as PointsBet, William Hill, theScore, and FanDuel Sportsbook. The casinos in the area could obtain three agreements with online sportsbook providers per casino, which have the potential to give Indiana bettors a wide variety of online betting options.
Future online bettors will need to be 21 years of age or older. Online bettors will also be able to bet on professional sports leagues like the Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Pacers. They will also be able to bet on various collegiate sports as well without the restriction of not being able to bet on a sporting team that resides within Indianapolis. Betting on any youth sports, high school, or e-sports is prohibited under Indiana sports gambling law.
