Washington becomes 21st state to allow sports betting
March 25, 2020
Today Gov. Inslee Gov. Inslee signed legislation to allow sports betting inside all Washington Indian casinos. Card rooms are excluded and mobile betting is limited to within casinos.
SUMMARY
All bets must be placed inside licensed Indian casinos.
Tribes must negotiate terms and conditions with the State to add sports betting to their gaming compacts.
Betting is allowed on all professional sports except for minor league professional events.
Betting is allowed on all college games except in-state colleges.
Mobile betting is prohibited except inside a licensed Indian casino.
The Washington State Gambling Commission will provide regulatory oversight to all sports betting operations.
There is no timeline to opening the first sportsbook in the state. The next step is state licensing of casinos via their gaming compacts. The following step will be investments by the casinos into betting facilities and gaming software. Hopefully, at that point COVID-19 will longer be a health threat and casinos will be operating again.

Bill Would Allow Sports Betting at Washington Indian Casinos
February 11, 2019
House Bill 1975 seeks to authorize sports betting only inside the tribal casino of the state. This would include betting on both college and professional sports.
Bets could be placed with a casino teller or at a kiosk within the casino. Bets could also be placed by mobile phone but only inside an Indian casino.
If passed, each tribe would be required to renegotiate their gaming compacts with the state to add the terms for regulating and taxing the sports waging. This is required by Indian gaming laws of the federal government and may take a year or more before betting can begin.
