Mississippi offers bettors a wide range of opportunities, but very few of them online.
The Magnolia State is home to 29 casinos and was the fourth state in the U.S. to legalize single-game sports betting. All of those wagering opportunities are at brick-and-mortar establishments as state lawmakers continue to show reluctance to embrace online and mobile wagering.
With online casino gambling prohibited in the state, Mississippi bettors can play slots or table games at social casinos, which offer a variety of online games for prizes or amusement, with no money changing hands. Playing for real money at offshore-based online casinos, which are unregulated and operate with no oversight, should be avoided.

While state law doesn’t specifically mention online casino gambling, the Mississippi Gaming Commission, which regulates gambling in the state, makes its position clear, stating on its website: “Internet gambling is illegal under state law.’’ The commission also warns about wagering with unlicensed and offshore casino outlets, saying “it is illegal to place bets from Mississippi with these businesses.’’
Several of the state’s casinos offer their own branded online social casinos, which offer free casino gambling play with virtual coins for comps and prizes. A growing number of national online social casinos, such as Chumba, which can be played on their respective websites or Facebook apps, are also available. Gambling.com’s top-rated social casinos are listed above.
Sports wagering at the state’s commercial casinos is available only through in-person betting at casino sportsbooks. State law allows mobile sports betting only if conducted on-site at the casino - not very practical, especially considering only the tribal casinos currently offer a Mississippi sports betting app.
Mississippi allows residents to wager on Daily Fantasy Sports. The state permits pari-mutuel wagering at licensed casinos, but has no racetracks and prohibits all online pari-mutuel betting.
Difficult to say, with later more likely than sooner. The state relies heavily on the tax revenue from its more than two-dozen casinos and there seems to be little legislative appetite to add online casino gambling to the mix.
Sports betting is a different story. Several bills that would authorize mobile online betting were introduced by state lawmakers in 2019 and 2020, though none advanced to a vote. With several states seeing up to 80% or more of its sports wagering handle placed online, some Mississippi lawmakers will continue to pursue mobile sports betting. If eventually approved, it could move the needle on online casino gaming.
Mississippi is home to 26 commercial casinos and three more on tribal lands. The biggest cluster of casinos is located on the Gulf Coast. The complete list of Mississippi casinos (hours of operation and number of available games are subject to change due to social distancing restrictions):

Many of the major national casino operators already own or manage casinos in the state, including MGM Resorts (Beau Rivage, Gold Strike), Caesars Entertainment (Harrah’s Gulf Coast, Horseshoe Tunica) and Penn National Gaming (Hollywood Gulf Coast, Hollywood Tunica, 1st Jackpot, Boomtown, Ameristar Vicksburg). All are experienced online operators and could make the transition quickly if Mississippi were to allow online casino gambling. Same with other operators in the state, including Boyd Gaming and Hard Rock.
If online casino gambling is approved, mobile apps will become an essential part of the operation. Casino gaming apps allows bettors to wager on their mobile devices from anywhere inside the state, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Generally, the apps are available for both Android and iOS operating systems and can be downloaded free of charge on the casino website or the App Store.
Online casinos offer nearly all of the same casino games found at traditional casinos, and can be played anytime on your computer or mobile device.
Online sites: Online slots are adjusted to fit your screen, with newer games offering a mix of special effects and animation. Online slots often offer better payback percentages than casino slots.
Online poker: In addition to video poker, cash games and daily internet poker tournaments against other players are offered for a variety of stakes and buy-ins.
Lottery: The Mississippi State Lottery is relatively new, with the first sale of scratch-off games in November 2019. The state participates in multi-state jackpot games such as Mega Millions and Powerball. Lottery tickets are sold only at retail locations and cannot be purchased online.
Online roulette: Automated version uses an electronic random number generator instead of a physical wheel.
Online blackjack: Most popular table game at both retail and online casinos. Online version allows for lower minimum bets, a wider variety of blackjack games, and moves at a quicker pace.
Live dealer: Live dealer games offer a more social experience with an actual person dealing from a studio and the game streamed to your computer or mobile device. However, the availability of live dealer games varies widely even in regulated states.
States with online casino gaming provide a variety of options for deposits and withdrawals to your online account. The most popular:
E-wallets: E-wallets such as PayPal and Neteller allow you to quickly transfer funds in or out of your online casino account whenever your request for low fees.
Prepaid card: Prepaid cards such as Play+, which was created specifically for this purpose, are an excellent option. Players can fund their Play+ card with a credit card or from a bank account and use it to both deposit and withdraw funds from numerous casinos. Money can then be accessed at participating ATMs.
Credit/debit card: Convenient option with deposits processed quickly. Note that some banks will not approve legal gambling transaction, and those that do generally don’t allow credit card withdrawals. You can also expect transactions to carry a fee from your card issuer.
ACH/bank transfer: Works well for deposits and a favored method for withdrawals. Funds are transferred directly from your bank account to online gambling account or vice versa. Transactions can take several days to process.
PayNearMe: Use cash to make a deposit at a Mississippi 7-Eleven, CVS Pharmacy or Family Dollar location. No credit card or bank account needed.
The samebonus offers online casino players receive in other states, including:
No-deposit bonus: Promotion for new customers that pays bonus money into your account just for signing up. Usually in the $20-$30 range and you may have to risk the bonus money at least one time before redeeming.
Bonus match: Make an initial deposit into your account and the online operator will match that amount up to 100% or more. Comes with more stringent playthrough requirements than a no deposit bonus. Be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully as some casino games may not be eligible.
Free spins: Promo appealing to slot players as an incentive to try new games or as a reward for previous play.
Reload bonus: Sometimes offered to existing or inactive players whose accounts may be low or depleted.
The “Mississippi Miracle” is no exaggeration.
Like most other Southern states, Mississippi enacted strict gambling bans in the late 1800s that remained largely unchanged for the better part of the next century. Then Mississippi broke through the ban in a development that was at the time shocking for not just the region but the nation.
Mississippi was and still is dominated by conservative religious, cultural and political conditions which have historically been largely averse to any form of gambling. But seeking new ways to generate revenues in a struggling state economy, officials began steadily gaining support for legal gambling.
Starting with the success of New Jersey’s commercial casinos in the 1970s and federally recognized Native American tribes on tribal lands in the 1980s, Mississippi increasingly saw gambling as a means to attract tourists from across the nation. Lawmakers overcame gambling opponents to support modern riverboat casinos and eventually land-based facilities.
Decades later, it’s still shocking that Mississippi was just the third state in the nation with commercial casinos. Regional neighbors such as Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee still don’t have any commercial gaming facilities within their borders.
Mississippi’s casino market grew and contracted over the years, eventually settling into a dependable industry that contributes billions in economic impact each year. The 2019 approval for a state lottery, which had been delayed for years largely over fears it would cannibalize casino revenues, will only further Mississippi’s gaming revenues.
The next wave of gambling developments, namely online casino gaming and sports betting, will likely be tougher sells in the state. But even now, its proactive embrace of gambling has made Mississippi the top gaming state in the region and to this day one of the largest markets in the country.

LATEST NEWS: Mississippi June Sports Betting Handle Up As Casinos Reopen
Legislation that would authorize online sports betting in the state dies in committee for second consecutive year.
Immediately after U.S. Supreme Court allows states to legalize sports betting, Mississippi Gaming Commission drafts rules and regulations, which includes retail betting, but almost no online wagering. Casino sportsbooks accept state’s first legal sports wagers on Aug. 1.
State lawmakers legalize Daily Fantasy Sports and remove portion of law that prohibits sports betting, pending U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act.
After Hurricane Katrina, legislature allows for commercial casinos on Gulf Coast to rebuild on dry land.
Silver Star Casino is opened by Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, the only federally recognized tribe in the state. The facility in Neshoba County is now part of the Pearl River Resort.
Isle of Capri Biloxi is state’s first commercial casino to open.
Passage of Mississippi Gaming Control Act legalizes riverboat gambling in facilities docked on waterways, pending county referendums.
When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the law that prohibited single-game sports betting outside Nevada, Mississippi officials were ready. The state’s gaming commission immediately crafted regulations and less than three months later, on Aug. 1, 2018, the first legal sports wagers were accepted at the Beau Rivage and Gold Strike. Several other Mississippi casinos quickly set up sportsbooks and sports betting is now a staple at the state’s casinos.
The law, however, primarily allows only in-person retail sports betting at licensed casinos. Mobile sports betting is permissible only while on-site at those casinos. As a result, Mississippi annual sports betting revenue lags far behind states such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and even Indiana, which implemented sports betting a year later than Mississippi.
In 2018, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians became the first in the U.S. to offer sports wagering at a tribal casino. The Choctaws, who now own and operate three casinos in Mississippi, went live with the state’s first mobile sports betting app in 2019, with online wagering only allowed on casino premises.
A date is difficult to pinpoint, but online sports wagering in Mississippi is likely to become a reality.
A 2019 bill that would authorize online sports wagering failed to make it out of committee. Legislators tried again in 2020 with the same result. It’s reasonable to believe an online sports betting bill will eventually become law because:
A Daily Fantasy Sports bill was legalized in 2017, a year after state lawmakers approved it on a temporary basis.
All of the biggest national DFS operators are active in Mississippi, including DraftKings, FanDuel, Yahoo and Fantasy Draft.
Mississippi has no licensed horse/greyhound tracks or off-track wagering facilities and pari-mutuel wagering is only permitted at licensed casinos. The Palace Casino Resort in Biloxi was the first casino to accept horse race wagering in 2019.
Most casinos in the state do not offer pari-mutuel wagering, and national online horse racing wagering platforms such as TVG and TwinSpires are not permitted to accept Mississippi accounts.
It’s not a stretch to forecast that most if not all Mississippi casinos will offer an online/mobile sports betting alternative whenever it becomes legal. Several Mississippi sportsbooks are already owned or managed by experienced online operators, which would make for a quick transition.
The same sports that bettors can wager on at the state’s casino sportsbooks. That means all the major professional sports leagues (NBA, MLB, NBA, NHL); Division I college sports including Mississippi-based teams; golf, tennis, soccer, motorsports, boxing, mixed martial arts and international sports.
Only on Daily Fantasy Sports and social casino games. Casino gambling, pari-mutuel wagering and nearly all sports betting is available only by in-person wagering.
Bettors must be 21 or older for both sports betting and casino games.
To receive a commercial gaming license, applicants must be approved by the Mississippi Gaming Commission and meet comprehensive financial and background requirements. Casino properties can be built no more than 800 feet inland. Any current holder of a Mississippi gaming license can apply to offer sports betting.
In-person casino gambling, sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering at licensed casinos; daily fantasy sports, lottery.
Based on other states, the law will have no residency requirement, but bettors must be physically located in Mississippi when placing a legal wager, meaning both Mississippi residents and visitors will both be able to wager. Geolocation software will be used to make sure bettors and inside state lines.
Online casino gambling for real money is not legal in Mississippi. The only legal online casino offers are for social casinos, which allow bettors to play free online casino games for prizes or amusement. If you see an offer from a real-money site, it is undoubtedly an offshore casino that is unregulated and not recommended.
At more than two dozen licensed casinos across the state and at three tribal casinos.
Generally, no. The only exception are online bets made with apps while on the premises of a licensed casino. Only the state’s tribal casinos currently offer an app to make online on-site wagers.
The Mississippi Gaming Commission regulates the state’s casino industry.
Yes, providing you play at a site licensed and regulated by the Mississippi Gaming Commission, which would be responsible for ensuring the integrity of all games and equipment.
Under IRS regulations, all gambling winnings are taxable, and the federal tax owed will depend on your tax bracket. Winnings are also subject to a 3% state income tax.
