Thirty six states where you can play
Adults can sign up and play in every state below. Some casinos still skip a state or ask for 21+, so check their own list before you join.
Three rules that apply everywhere
Casinos check your location at sign up and at cash out. A mailing address in an open state is not enough.
Most casinos take players from 18. Stake.us and a few others want 21 everywhere, and some states set 21 as the floor.
Four states closed in 2026 alone. We recheck every casino at the start of each month and update this page.
