General information, not legal advice, and rules change. Check your state regulator for the current position.
Washington legalized sports betting at tribal casinos in 2020 with launches beginning September 2021. Mobile wagering is geofenced to tribal casino properties — you cannot bet from home.
Statewide mobile would require renegotiating tribal compacts. Minimum age is 18 at most properties.
Outlook: tribal exclusivity is firmly entrenched; statewide mobile is unlikely in the near term.
