Is Online Sports Betting Legal in Hawaii?
Hawaii is known for beaches, luaus, and sunsets—but not for betting. If you’re wondering about online sports betting Hawaii fans ask about every season, the answer is simple: it’s not legal.
Hawaii is one of only two states, along with Utah, that bans all gambling. No casinos, no lottery, no retail sportsbooks, and no online sports betting apps. That means NFL betting, NBA parlays, and even horse racing bets are off the table.
But lawmakers have tried to change that. In 2025, a bill made it farther than ever before. Let’s break down the current laws, failed attempts, and what might come next.
