QUESTION
Is FanDuel sports betting allowed in Mississippi?
ANSWER
Yes, FanDuel sports betting is allowed in Mississippi. The state legalized sports betting in 2018 following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the federal ban on sports wagering outside of Nevada. However, online sports betting operates under more restrictive rules in Mississippi than in some other states where it is legal. In Mississippi, online sports betting is only permitted while on the premises of a licensed casino; therefore, FanDuel and other betting platforms can be accessed via mobile devices, but bettors must be physically located within a casino property. FanDuel itself does not have a standalone online sportsbook active in Mississippi but has partnered with local casinos to offer retail sports betting services.
