By betadmin As of my last update in early 2023, online sports betting, including through platforms like DraftKings, is legal in Washington state, but with certain restrictions. The state allows sports betting through tribal casinos, which have compacts with the state allowing them to offer sports betting on-site. However, online sports betting is not permitted outside of tribal operations.
DraftKings, which is a popular daily fantasy sports and sports betting platform, does not offer traditional sports betting services to customers in Washington state due to the state’s laws. However, residents of Washington can still participate in daily fantasy sports contests on DraftKings, as those are considered games of skill rather than chance under Washington law.
It’s important to note that the legal landscape can change, and you should check the current laws and regulations or consult with legal counsel for the most up-to-date information before engaging in any form of gambling. Additionally, always ensure that any gambling activities are conducted through legal and regulated channels.
