Wisconsin has no law that licenses online casinos. We did not review its gambling statutes for this page.
Who regulates gambling in Wisconsin?
The Wisconsin Division of Gaming, part of the Department of Administration, regulates bingo and raffles through its Office of Charitable Gaming. Its Office of Indian Gaming and Regulatory Compliance regulates tribal casinos.
Are offshore casinos legal in Wisconsin?
Offshore casinos hold no Wisconsin license, so no Wisconsin agency checks their games, payouts or complaints.
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Wisconsin?
We found no Wisconsin law that names sweepstakes casinos, and a tracker shows no state enforcement. That is not a finding that they are legal.
Are there land-based casinos in Wisconsin?
Yes. Wisconsin's casinos are tribal. The Division of Gaming publishes a list of casino names and locations.
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.
