INSIDECASINO.USWhat does Utah law say about online casinos?
Article VI, Section 27 of the Utah Constitution bars the Legislature from authorizing games of chance. One guide cites Utah Code section 76-9-1401 on online gambling, which we have not read ourselves.
Who regulates gambling in Utah?
We did not confirm a Utah agency with authority over online casinos. The state does not license any form of casino gambling.
Are offshore casinos legal in Utah?
Offshore casinos hold no Utah license, so no Utah agency checks their games, payouts or complaints.

No. Sources report that Utah has no legal casinos.
What are the rules in another state?
