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.
