What does Mississippi law say about sports betting?
Legal sports wagering in Mississippi is allowed only at casinos the Gaming Commission licenses; the Commission's FAQ says sports wagering outside a casino, including online and mobile apps, is illegal. Source: Mississippi Gaming Commission, FAQs, checked October 6, 2026.
- Regulator. The Mississippi Gaming Commission regulates legal sports wagering in Mississippi, according to its FAQ page. Source: Mississippi Gaming Commission - Frequently Asked Questions, checked October 6, 2026.
- Minimum age. Mississippi Gaming Commission regulations treat anyone under 21 as a minor and bar licensees from allowing a minor to play, place wagers or collect winnings from any gaming under the Gaming Control Act, so the minimum age to bet is 21.

- Tax and licensing. Mississippi taxes licensed gaming gross revenue with a tiered state fee: 4% on the first $50,000, 6% on the next $84,000 and 8% above $134,000, plus locally authorized fees. Gaming Commission rules add sportsbook win to a casino's other gross gaming revenue for taxation.
