Hawaii Sports Betting in 2023

Jeff Watters - Covers
Written by: Jeff Watters, Sports Betting Editor Fact checked by: Brandon DuBreuil, Editor-in-Chief
Last Updated Jan 27, 2023, 9:44 AM ET

Hawaii is home to six active volcanoes — and no active sportsbooks. 

Sports betting is illegal in Hawaii. In fact, the Aloha State is one of only two states (Utah) with no legal gambling of any kind. 

While multiple Hawaii sports betting bills have been proposed since the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) repeal in 2018, nothing has come to pass.

Our guide to Hawaii sports betting covers legal updates, projections, and what to expect should Hawaii legalize sports wagering in the future.

    Hawaii sports betting updates

    Despite recent attempts to bring sports betting, and other forms of gambling, to Hawaii, no proposal has made a considerable push toward legalization.  

    Here's a glimpse into relevant dates in Hawaii's attempt to move forward with sports betting:

    Jan. 9, 2023: A bill is proposed by Democrat John Mizuno for a single, standalone sportsbook and cardroom. The location would be licensed for 10 years on the island of Oahu. With Hawaii residents spending so much money in Las Vegas every year, Mizuno believes it's important to explore options to keep local money in the economy. 

    Jan. 26, 2022: HB 1962 is introduced to legalize casino gambling. The bill identifies Hawaii as "a ripe target market for legal gaming." Lawmakers ultimately decline to move forward with the Hawaii sports betting proposal. 

    Jan. 26, 2022: A second 2022 House bill looking to legalize sports wagering specifies that betting on sports should not be considered gambling. HB 1973 garners little support. 

    Jan. 24, 2022: A bill (HB 1815) to legalize online sports betting and Hawaii sportsbooks is brought to the House but fails to gain traction.

    Jan. 22, 2021: SB 595, another Hawaii sports betting bill seeking the establishment of a sports gambling task force, is brought to the Senate. Like HB 1107, the bill dies in committee.

    Jan. 24, 2019: HB 1107 is introduced. The bill aims to create a task force — the Hawaii Sports Wagering Corporation — responsible for exploring the merits of online gaming in Hawaii. The bill ultimately dies in committee.

    Jan 27, 2016: Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin opines that DFS contests "constitute illegal gambling under state law."

    Latest Hawaii betting news

    Who can bet on sports in Hawaii?

    No one can legally bet on sports in Hawaii. If mobile sports wagering eventually arrives, anyone of legal age may be able to place bets from anywhere in the state. 

    18plus Legal age

    The legal age for social gambling in Hawaii is 18. However, sports betting is typically reserved for bettors 21 and older in legal states.

    21plus Mobile betting

    Legal online and mobile sports betting would be a boon for Hawaii bettors. If recent bills are any indication, there will continue to be a push for this type of wagering.

    21plus Remote registration

    Remote registration would almost certainly be a part of any successful sports betting measure in Hawaii. With no casinos or gambling facilities, it would make little sense to require in-person sign-ups for sports betting accounts.

    globe Within state borders

    Legal Hawaii sports betting would have to comply with federal regulations. Sports bettors need to be physically located in the state in which they are registered. For Hawaii, betting would be limited to inhabited and participating islands. 

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    Hawaii does not have any retail sportsbooks or casinos. Any bill to legalize retail sports betting would have to identify potential locations for brick-and-mortar sportsbooks.

    percent Taxable winnings

    If Hawaii sports betting becomes legal, the Aloha State will have to decide how to tax residents. Hawaii's personal income tax rate ranges from 1.4% to 11%.

    The pros and cons of Hawaii sports betting

    There's little momentum concerning legal gambling in Hawaii. Despite the resounding success in other regions in the U.S., the arrival of legal sports betting is not imminent.

    How to start betting in Hawaii

    Hawaii doesn't allow gambling, but legal retail or online sports betting could be the first shoe to drop in the Aloha State. Here's how residents and tourists can get started when the time comes to begin wagering on sports:

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    New Hawaii sports bettors should compare odds, betting menus, sign-up bonuses, future promotions, and banking options when considering a sportsbook. If online betting becomes available, visiting Hawaii sports betting sites or downloading mobile apps is a great place to start.

    2

    Register online

    Registering for an online sportsbook account should be a breeze in Hawaii. In states with legal sports betting, the process only takes a few minutes and requires a legal ID, driver's license or SSN, proof of location, and the ability to fund an account.

    3

    Claim a bonus

    There won't be a better way to build up your account balance than to claim a welcome bonus from a legal Hawaii sportsbook. New users can find bonuses like risk-free bets, deposit match bonuses, and no-deposit bonuses in states launching sports betting for the first time. 

    4

    Deposit funds

    Players in legal states can use credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, eChecks, and cryptocurrencies to start betting on sports. Hawaii sports betting sites should eventually use some combination of these methods.

    5

    Choose your bet types

    Every state with legal sports betting has different regulations and wagering options. There's no telling what will become legal in Hawaii, but it's safe to assume common bets like moneylines, Over/Unders (totals), point spreads, and props will be among the options.

    6

    Start betting

    Ensuring all bets are understood and well-researched will set Hawaii bettors up for success. Placing wagers is as easy as locating your bet, adding it to the betslip, and confirming your selection.

    7

    Withdraw funds

    Withdrawing funds from an online sportsbook account should be easy; however, that's not always the case. Always check withdrawal policies before creating and funding accounts with Hawaii sports betting sites.

    Reading the odds

    U.S. sportsbooks use American odds to display odds. American odds show the favorite with a minus (-) sign, while the underdog is accompanied by a plus (+) symbol.

    The favorite is the team expected to win. Predictably, a winning bet on a favorite will pay out less than a successful wager on an underdog.  

    For example, when picking a -150 favorite, a bettor will have to risk $150 to win $100. Meanwhile, betting $100 on a +180 underdog would result in $180 in profit.

    If you prefer to view odds as decimals or fractions, head over to our odds converter to view American, decimal, and fractional odds.

    What you can't bet on in Hawaii

    Local sports bettors cannot legally bet on anything inside of state lines. Until legislation is approved for legal Hawaii sports betting, bettors will have to leave the state to partake in event wagering. 

    Here are some notable bet types that could be included in future iterations of Hawaii sports betting bills:

    Covers miss icon

    Politics

    Hawaii sportsbooks will not offer wagering on politics. No legal U.S. sportsbook offers betting lines on political events.

    Covers miss icon

    Entertainment awards ceremonies

    Gamblers in Hawaii are unlikely to be given the green light to wager on popular awards shows like the Oscars and Emmy Awards.

    Covers miss icon

    esports

    Esports is growing in popularity around the world, especially in the U.S. However, not many states allow this kind of betting. Esports betting in Hawaii isn't legal now, but the state could decide to include it in new proposals.

    What about Hawaii college sports?

    College sports betting has been a hot-button issue for many states legalizing sports betting. Some jurisdictions only allow wagering on games involving out-of-state teams.

    The ability to bet on all college sports would be a win for locals and tourists in Hawaii.

    Home team advantage: Hawaii sports

    Hawaii sports bettors should exercise caution if they ever get the chance to back their University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors with their bankroll. Betting on your favorite teams can be exciting, but be sure to research bets thoroughly before risking your hard-earned money.
