Read on for more about the future of IN sports betting.
Indiana sports betting launch date
Indiana sports betting launched on September 1, days before the start of the NFL season. That launch date was only for in-person retail sportsbooks at Indiana casinos, racinos, and off-track betting parlors. Indiana regulators moved on an aggressive timeline to start in part at the request of operators who want to capitalize on football betting.
Indiana sports betting apps likely will have to wait at least a month longer, if not more. Mobile sports betting will be available in Indiana as part of the law passed in 2019. Testing and licensure for IN sports betting apps will require a bit more time though.
Physical sportsbooks are currently open at:
- Ameristar East Chicago
- Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City
- Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg
- Horseshoe Casino Hammond
- Indiana Grand Casino
