Press Release: The State of Sports Betting in Idaho: Opportunities Amid Restrictions
Idaho, 2025 – Despite the growing popularity of sports betting across the United States, Idaho has yet to embrace this trend, maintaining one of the country’s most restrictive stances on gambling. Currently, there are no legal retail or online sportsbooks in the state, and legislative movements toward legalization appear stagnant.
While Idaho residents cannot legally place bets on sports events within the state, they still have access to reputable international sportsbooks. These offshore platforms, fully licensed in their jurisdictions, provide a wide array of betting options on college and professional sports, including bets on local teams, the Boise State Broncos and Idaho State Bengals.
GamblingIndustryNews highlights some of the best offshore sportsbooks for Idaho bettors, including BetUS, MyBookie, and Everygame. Each of these platforms offers competitive promotions, such as BetUS’s 100% welcome bonus and MyBookie’s exclusive college sports lines. These sites feature user-friendly interfaces, robust customer support, and a wide range of payment methods, including cryptocurrency options.
As it stands, only parimutuel horse racing is legally permitted in Idaho, making it the primary avenue for legal wagering. Recent attempts to change the state’s gambling laws have been thwarted due to constitutional prohibitions against sports betting, which would require a complex amendment process to resolve.
Idaho’s neighboring states present a stark contrast, with Washington, Oregon, and Nevada having legalized various forms of sports betting. Residents may soon face a decision: continue using offshore platforms or advocate for change within their own state.
For sports enthusiasts in Idaho, the future remains uncertain, but reputable offshore sportsbooks offer an attractive alternative for fans eager to engage in sports betting until local laws change. For more information on the best options for Idaho sports betting, visit GamblingIndustryNews.
