Is online casino legal in Hawaii?

No. Hawaii does not license real-money online casinos, and its gambling laws are reported to expressly bar casinos, including gambling aboard ships off its coast. Offshore sites may still accept players in Hawaii, but no Hawaii agency oversees their games, payouts or complaints.

What does Hawaii law say about online casinos?

Hawaii's gambling offenses are in Chapter 712 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, starting at section 712-1220. Bills filed in 2025 proposed online casino games and sportsbooks. We did not find that either passed.

Who regulates gambling in Hawaii?

We did not confirm a Hawaii agency with authority over online casinos, because the state does not license them.

Are offshore casinos legal in Hawaii?

Offshore casinos hold no Hawaii license, so no Hawaii agency checks their games, payouts or complaints.

Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Hawaii?

We found no Hawaii law that names sweepstakes casinos, and a tracker shows no state enforcement. Hawaii's general gambling law still applies, so this is not a finding that they are legal.

Are there land-based casinos in Hawaii?

No. Summaries of Hawaii law describe casinos as prohibited.

What are the rules in another state?

Each state sets its own online casino rules. Pick a state to see its status, its regulator and the date we last checked it.
