Wisconsin Online Gambling 2026: Sports Betting Launch, Sweepstakes & Casino

What's legal in Wisconsin?

Gov. Tony Evers signed mobile sports betting into law on 9 April 2026, giving Wisconsin’s federally recognized tribes exclusive rights to run mobile sportsbooks — so commercial apps like DraftKings and FanDuel can’t operate independently. Launch is still months away. Tribal retail sportsbooks already operate. Sweepstakes casinos are legal. Real-money online casino and poker are not.

Mobile sportsbooks haven’t launched yet, so there’s no sportsbook welcome offer to claim today.
