INSIDECASINO.USWhat does Alabama law say about online casinos?
Alabama has not passed a law that licenses online casinos. The seven states with legal online casinos do not include Alabama.
Who regulates gambling in Alabama?
We did not confirm a single Alabama agency that regulates casino gambling. The Alabama Attorney General has led the state's past gambling cases.
Are offshore casinos legal in Alabama?
Offshore casinos hold no Alabama license, so no Alabama agency checks their games, payouts or complaints.
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Alabama?
Alabama has no law that names sweepstakes casinos, but the state is in litigation over them. A lawsuit targets Stake.us, and a tracker reports that several brands have stopped serving Alabama. We have not confirmed the case details against court records.
Are there land-based casinos in Alabama?
The Poarch Band of Creek Indians runs casinos in Alabama. The Attorney General sued in 2013 to stop their slot machines, and a federal judge dismissed that suit. We have not confirmed the current status of that dispute.
What are the rules in another state?
Each state sets its own online casino rules. Pick a state to see its status, its regulator and the date we last checked it.
