Mississippi Sports Betting in 2023

Written by: Jeff Watters, Sports Betting Editor Fact checked by: Brandon DuBreuil, Head of Content
Last Updated Feb 03, 2023, 9:03 AM ET

Online Mississippi sports betting and the best sports betting sites did not arrive in 2022.

Bettors still have retail Mississippi sportsbooks, however. BetMGM was the first to open its doors, doing so at two locations on Aug. 1, 2018. Today, Mississippi is home to over two dozen brick-and-mortar sportsbooks.

    Mississippi sports betting updates

    One of the first states to legalize retail sports betting in 2018, Mississippi lawmakers have taken a much more deliberate approach to grow the state’s online betting market.

    Here’s some background on the Magnolia State’s march to legal sports betting:

    Feb. 1, 2023: The Mississippi House appropriations committee approves an amended bill (HB-606) that would create an 11-member Mississippi sports betting Task Force.

    June 15, 2022: The Mississippi Gaming Commission (MGC) reports a May sports betting handle of $29.2 million, its lowest monthly total since August 2021.

    Feb. 10, 2022: Fubo Gaming announces it has struck a market access deal to operate in Mississippi, pending regulatory approval and the legalization of mobile sports betting in MS. The Fubo Sportsbook is live in two states (Arizona, Iowa) but has reached agreements with 10 state regulators.

    Feb. 1, 2022: HB 184 is among four sports betting bills to die in committee. There will be no mobile wagering in MS in 2022.

    Jan. 17, 2022: Sen. Philip Moran introduces SB 2462 — The Mississippi Mobile Sports Pool And Race Book Wagering Act. The Act would legalize online sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering on horse races in MS.

    Jan. 3, 2022: Rep. Cedric Burnett introduced online sports betting bill HB 184 in the Mississippi Legislature, which allows online sports betting (under the control of gaming license holders) and wagering on esports competitions.

    Nov. 12, 2021: BetMGM confirms the launch of its mobile app at MGM Resorts International’s Beau Rivage in Biloxi, providing bettors with two destinations to access the sports betting platform.

    Nov. 4, 2021: The Mississippi House Gaming Committee, led by its chair, Casey Eure, announces it is working on a new mobile betting app bill that would legalize online wagering statewide by early 2022.

    September 2021: BetMGM launches the first online sportsbook in Mississippi, allowing bettors to place mobile wagers while visiting a BetMGM retail sportsbook.

    February 2021: Introduced mere weeks earlier, SB 2732 and HB 1042 die in committee. The bills proposed legal statewide online betting in Mississippi.

    March 2020: HB 172, a bill aiming to legalize mobile and online Mississippi sports betting statewide, dies in committee.

    August 2018: BetMGM becomes the first sportsbook to go live in Mississippi.

    June 2018: The Mississippi Gaming Commission (MGC) releases its official sports betting regulations.

    May 2018: SCOTUS overturns PASPA, opening the door for states to set their own sports betting laws.

    March 2017: Daily fantasy sports contests are legalized in Mississippi. Language prohibiting sports betting is removed from the updated DFS bill (HB 967), lifting the statewide ban on sports betting.

    October 1992: The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act is signed. ‘PASPA’ places a federal ban on sports wagering.

    June 1990: The Mississippi legislature passes the Mississippi Gaming Control Act. The Act states that casinos can operate along the Mississippi River and Gulf Coast, pending voter approval.

     

    Is sports betting legal in Mississippi?

    Yes, Mississippi sports betting is legal. The state’s first retail sportsbooks were introduced less than three months after the federal ban on sports gambling was lifted. Today, nearly 30 brick-and-mortar sportsbooks are in operation.

    Mobile betting is also permitted in MS, but there’s a catch: Mississippians can only place wagers while on casino property. In fact, gambling of any sort is restricted to casinos in Mississippi.

    Though Mississippi is facing renewed pressure to pass legislation legalizing statewide mobile betting, sports bettors did not see any movement on this front in 2022. Each of the state's proposed bills failed to make it to a vote after five casinos stood in opposition of each measure.

    Latest Mississippi betting news

    Who can bet on sports in Mississippi?

    Adults 21 and older can place legal sports wagers at Mississippi sportsbooks located at a commercial or tribal casino.

    Here’s everything you need to know before placing your first wager:

    21plus Legal age

    Mississippi sports betting is for adults 21 and older.

    21plus Mobile betting

    Although a few Mississippi sportsbooks have launched mobile sports betting apps to accompany their retail locations, bettors must visit these facilities in person to make online wagers. Statewide Mississippi sports betting sites are illegal, but the state's House Gaming Committee is looking to change that in 2023.

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    The Magnolia State is home to nearly 30 retail sportsbooks. Each brick-and-mortar location can be found in a casino. Bettors can place wagers at the physical sportsbook or a sports betting kiosk.

    percent Taxable winnings

    Mississippi casinos automatically withhold 3% of all gambling winnings at the time of payout. MS Residents are not required to report gambling winnings as income on state returns. The federal tax rate of 24% on winnings over $5,000 is still applicable here.

    Crossing state lines: Nearby betting sites in 2023

    Mississippi’s neighbor to the north presents one option for bettors seeking online gambling. Tennessee offers fully mobile sports betting and boasts eight online sportsbooks.

    West of the Mississippi River, Louisiana now stands as the top option for mobile sports bettors in MS. LA legalized online wagering on Jan. 28, 2022.

    The pros and cons of MS sports betting

    Mississippi pounced on the opportunity to offer regulated sports betting to its residents. The Magnolia State is now approaching 30 retail locations.

    However, the likely temporary yet inexplicable absence of online betting will leave bettors wanting more. Having to visit a casino to confirm sports wagers remains a significant barrier to entry for many beginner bettors.

    How to start betting in Mississippi

    Before placing your first Mississippi sports bet, you’ll have to consider each retail option available. Luckily, preliminary research can be completed from anywhere in the state. Check out nearby casinos’ websites to learn more about their sportsbook partners.

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    Mississippi is full of some of the most renowned sportsbooks in the nation. Check out some reviews of each and gather as much information as possible from casino websites before visiting in person.

    2

    Register online

    Some Mississippi sportsbooks may allow you to register before visiting the casino. This convenience is negated mainly by the requirement to visit a casino to make your bets.

    3

    Claim a bonus

    Extravagant welcome bonuses are not a huge part of the sports betting scene in Mississippi. These promotional offers are typically found in states with fully online wagering. Still, those who do their research should uncover some enticing offers for new players.

    4

    Deposit funds

    Payment methods will vary from casino to casino. It’s always best to confirm these details before visiting a retail location. Online Mississippi sports betting sites will support many more sportsbook deposit and withdrawal methods in the future.

    5

    Choose your bet types

    Retail sportsbooks in Mississippi offer gamblers ample betting opportunities. You should have no trouble finding moneyline bets, Over/Unders (totals), point spreads, parlays, live betting, teasers, futures, and more.

    6

    Start betting

    Once you’ve shopped around, researched the bet types available, and zeroed in on a sportsbook, you’ll be ready to start betting. Visit a physical sportsbook or sports betting kiosk at the casino of your choice.

    7

    Withdraw funds

    Most sports bet winnings can be withdrawn instantly at the casino cage at a local retail sportsbook in Mississippi. Be sure to have some sort of identification and confirm if your sportsbook has a minimum or maximum withdrawal amount.

    Reading the odds

    Mississippi sportsbooks use American odds to show bettors favorites and underdogs. American odds also make it easy to calculate potential winnings.

    Favorites are shown with a minus (-) sign, while underdogs have a plus (+) sign. Odds of -300 indicate you’d need to wager $300 to win $100. Conversely, +300 odds mean a $100 bet would net you $300 in winnings. Clearly, the higher the odds, the better the payout. Underdog bets can be extremely profitable, but they’re also accompanied by the most risk.

    If you prefer to read odds and decimals or fractions, check out our odds converter to switch between American, decimal, and fractional odds.

    Mississippi sports betting handle

    Sports betting revenue continues to recover in 2023, with over $4 million gained from an 8.4% hold rate.

    Mississippi started 2021 with a bang as it took in over $67 million in total betting handle in January. Still, it’s easy to wonder what the state’s figures would look like with the legalization of statewide online betting.

    Here's a look at Mississippi's sports betting earnings to date (Note: these figures do not include tribal sports betting):

    Other types of gambling

    All gambling in the Magnolia State must be done on-site at a commercial or tribal casino. You can find many of these locations perched along the Mississippi River and Gulf Coast.

    Online gambling is strictly prohibited in Mississippi for now, with the exception of mobile betting done on-site at a licensed casino.

    casino Casino

    Mississippi’s riverboat casinos stretch from the Arkansas/Mississippi border in Robinsonville to the Gulf Coast. The state’s first dockside casino, The Isle of Capri, ushered in a new era of Mississippi gambling in August 1992.

    Many of the state's riverboat casinos were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, spurring then-Governor Haley Barbour to sign legislation allowing 13 casinos and hotels to be rebuilt 800 feet inland.

    MS bettors can enjoy the usual variety of table games, slots, and entertainment at the state’s commercial and tribal casinos. With online gambling outlawed, Mississippi’s casinos account for all of the state’s gambling revenue.

    poker Poker

    Several Mississippi casinos host daily and weekly poker tournaments. As all gambling must occur in an MS casino, online poker is illegal in the Magnolia State.

    Horse and jockey Horse racing

    Pari-mutuel horse betting is available at licensed Mississippi casinos. CONTACT Sports and Racebook at Palace Casino Resort (Biloxi) was the first casino on the Gulf Coast to take legal bets on horse races in 2019.

    Horse and jockey Daily fantasy sports

    Mississippi legalized daily fantasy sports in 2017 with an update to HB 967.  DraftKings and FanDuel continue to dominate the DFS market in the Magnolia State.

    Responsible gaming in Mississippi

    The Mississippi Council on Problem and Compulsive Gambling is The Magnolia State’s affiliate of the National Council of Problem Gambling. The non-profit organization provides education, crisis intervention, and referrals to those fighting gambling addiction in Mississippi.

    In addition to the MCPCG’s efforts, the Mississippi Gaming Commission oversees a self-exclusion program that allows problem gamblers to ban themselves from all MS casinos voluntarily.
