Mississippi allows sports betting only in person at licensed casinos — mobile betting works only on casino premises, and there is no statewide mobile sportsbook. Online casino and poker are not legal, and online horse-racing ADW is not offered to Mississippi residents. CFTC-regulated prediction markets are available, and sweepstakes casinos operate, though some restrict access amid an attorney-general review.

Best for a new player in Mississippi: Kalshi, the one regulated real-money option open here.
CFTC-regulated prediction markets (event contracts) are available to Mississippi residents 18+ through federally regulated exchanges such as Kalshi and Polymarket. Because they’re regulated federally rather than by the state, they’re one of the few real-money options available even where sportsbooks and online casinos are not — covering politics, economics, sports and culture.
Sweepstakes casinos operate in Mississippi under the dual-currency (Gold Coins / Sweeps Coins) model, but availability is uneven: some operators have restricted access amid an attorney-general review. Check each platform’s current state list before signing up. You must be 18+ (21+ on some sites).
Statewide mobile sports betting, real-money online casino (slots, table games) and online poker are not legal in Mississippi, and would require new state legislation to change. Be wary of offshore sites that claim to offer them — they are unlicensed, unregulated, and offer no consumer protection.
