Only eight states have legalized real-money online casinos as of April 2026, with users in Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maine, and West Virginia. Online casino games could grow over time as the need for tax revenue increases among the states. Operators like DraftKings Casino, FanDuel Casino, BetMGM Casino and Fanatics Casino, Caesars Palace Online Casino, and Golden Nugget Online Casino are among the best options for iCasino games in most states. However, there has been no significant progress towards legalizing sports gambling in Alaska. Meanwhile, in California, in-person casinos are the only form of legal gaming outside of card rooms and wagering on horse races.
