Is online sports betting legal in Idaho?

Sportsbooks in Idaho

None of the sportsbooks on vigged (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet, theScore Bet and Circa Sports) can take online bets from Idaho. With your state set to ID, the boards still show US sportsbooks' prices side by side, unranked.

Offshore sites such as Bovada are not licensed in Idaho or any other state: no regulator holds your deposits or settles disputes. vigged shows offshore prices unranked and never links to them.

Prediction markets: Kalshi and Polymarket US

Kalshi offers sports event contracts in Idaho to adults 18+. It is a federally regulated exchange (CFTC), not a state-licensed sportsbook, which is why it can operate where sportsbooks can’t.

Polymarket US, the CFTC-regulated app Polymarket launched in late 2025, lists Idaho as eligible; access is opening by waitlist. It is a separate order book from Polymarket’s international site, which does not serve US users.

How they differ from a sportsbook: you buy a contract that pays $1 if the outcome happens, priced in cents (58¢ is a 58% chance), from other traders rather than a bookmaker. Fees take the place of vig, the minimum age is 18 rather than 21, and the legal fight over sports contracts is still moving.
