INSIDECASINO.USWhat does Idaho law say about online casinos?
The Idaho Constitution states that gambling is contrary to public policy. Its exceptions are narrow, and Section 20 rules out casino games and their electronic simulations within them.
Who regulates gambling in Idaho?
We did not confirm an Idaho agency with authority over online casinos, because the state does not license them.
Are offshore casinos legal in Idaho?
Offshore casinos hold no Idaho license, so no Idaho agency checks their games, payouts or complaints.
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Idaho?
A tracker lists sweepstakes casinos as not legal in Idaho, relying on Article III, Section 20. We found no separate Idaho law that names them. Section 20 does exclude merchant promotions that charge entrants nothing.
Are there land-based casinos in Idaho?
Tribal gaming falls under federal law and tribal agreements, which this check did not review. The Idaho Constitution itself does not authorize casino gambling.
What are the rules in another state?
