FAQ - AL Sports Betting Bonuses
Is online betting legal in Alabama?
No. Alabama has not regulated their gambling market, there is no state license for operators to apply for and real-money online betting is illegal.
Are online casinos legal in Alabama?
No. As with sportsbooks, real-money online casinos are illegal under Alabama state law.
What are Alabama's legal betting alternatives?
Alabama has one of the strictest anti-gambling legislations in all of the United States, and implementing changes is very difficult. Many of the common gambling websites are straight up illegal within the state. But there are some legal options available. This is what the law says:
- Online sportsbooks - Illegal ❌
- Online casinos - Illegal ❌
- Social sportsbooks - Legal ✅
- Social casinos - Legal ✅
- Daily fantasy sports - Legal ✅
- Prediction markets - Legal ✅
An important note is that gambling using fictional or virtual currency is allowed, but that real-money options are not. Prediction sites operate in a gray area on a federal level, and while they are not explicitly authorized to operate in Alabama, they are also not technically illegal.
Some operators, like Underdog Fantasy, have made their platform available to Alabama players by adapting the available game types, and offer legal options such as pick'em and collage pick'em within the state.
What's the legal gambling age in Alabama?
For online options falling under the sweepstakes law, like social sportsbooks and prediction markets, the age requirement is 18+. For horse racing, bingo, raffles and pari-mutuel wagering it's 19+. For visiting a tribal casino and playing any type of electronic casino games or slots it's 21+.
Can Alabama residents gamble in other states?
Yes, Alabama residents can legally gamble both retail and online in any other state, provided that it is legal in said state. Most states bordering Alabama have very strict regulations for online gambling, with the exception of Tennessee, which has legalized online sportsbooks.
It is not legal to visit gambling websites and apps from other states while physically located within Alabama.
Do I have to tax gambling wins inside/outside AL?
As long as the gambling venue/site is legal, residents and non-residents may gamble in Alabama. Under state regulation, income from sources within Alabama is subject to non-resident income tax. The income is also taxed on a federal level, and may be taxed in your state of residency. Some states offer credits to avoid double taxation.
Alabama residents may gamble in other states, but they are legally required to submit this in their tax return on both a federal level, in Alabama and the state in which they gambled. If the state in which they gambled taxes gambling winnings, they may apply for credits in Alabama to avoid double taxation.
