Oklahoma Online Sports Betting

• Oklahoma Online Sports Betting Sites
• Online Sports Betting In Michigan
• Online Sports Betting Legal Oklahoma

After New Jersey's Supreme Court victory in May 2018, any state that wishes can legalize sports betting.

At the same time various state lawmakers are considering sports betting legislation, Congress is too. Senators Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and now-retired Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, co-introduced comprehensive sports betting legislation at the end of 2018. On Sept. 27, 2018 the House Judiciary Committee held a formal hearing on the topic.

Since online sports betting is not currently legal in Oklahoma, there are no sanctioned sportsbooks and therefore no deposit bonuses of any kind to speak of. However, in the event that online sports betting becomes legal, residents of Oklahoma can expect a similar approach to what sites in other states are currently offering. Jan 04, 2021 Oklahoma allows land-based gambling on slot machines, table games, Keno, poker, and bingo. Since 2018, it has craps with dice and roulette with spinning wheels. Oklahoma does not have regulated sports betting or online casino gambling. This must be done at offshore online gaming sites.

The dual track of proposals -- state and federal -- have increased in frequency since the start of 2017.

To measure the change in the landscape, we ranked all 50 states and the District of Columbia in terms of how likely it is for each jurisdiction to offer full-scale legal sports betting. A brief synopsis for the active states is included, with updates to follow.

Last updated on November 3, 2020.

Already there

1. Nevada

No longer the only state to permit a wide variety of legal sports betting, Nevada is a mature market that has existed for decades. Given its long history in successfully offering regulated sports wagering, many states might look to Nevada for best practices.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 223
Population: 3,034,392 (2,246,259 21+)

2. Delaware

On June 5, 2018, Delaware moved to offer single-game betting on a number of different sports at three casinos in the state. Expanded sports wagering options could take place at additional locations or online. Delaware's authorization of what Gov. John Carney described as 'a full-scale sports gaming operation' happened less than a month after the Supreme Court ruled that the federal law restricting single-game betting to Nevada was unconstitutional.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 3
Population: 967,171 (726,161 21+)

3. New Jersey

On June 11, 2018, Gov. Phil Murphy signed the sports betting bill that had passed the previous week. A William Hill sportsbook at Monmouth Park took the first bets on Thursday, June 14 at 10:30 a.m. ET. Gov. Murphy was the first customer in line. The Borgata in Atlantic City booked sports bets 30 minutes later. Other sportsbooks in New Jersey opened soon thereafter. For example, FanDuel's first sportsbook at the Meadowlands opened its doors on July 14.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams and collegiate events held within the state
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 9
Population: 8,908,520 (6,634,683 21+)

4. Mississippi

Two casinos owned by MGM Resorts booked their first sports bets in Mississippi on Aug. 1, 2018. Mississippi enacted a new law in 2017 that allowed for sports betting pending a favorable decision by the Supreme Court. In June 2018, the Mississippi Gaming Commission adopted implementing regulations that require all betting to take place in person, with mobile wagering to be considered later.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 29
Population: 2,986,530 (2,153,795 21+)

5. West Virginia

On Aug. 30, 2018, West Virginia became the fifth state to offer legal and regulated sports betting when the Hollywood Casino -- a sportsbook owned by Penn National -- opened its doors. The move came six months after the West Virginia legislature passed a new bill with the West Virginia Lottery Commission serving as the chief regulator.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 5
Population: 1,805,832 (1,375,788 21+)

6. New Mexico

On Oct. 16, 2018, the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel booked its first sports bet in partnership with Nevada-based USBookmaking. Although New Mexico has not passed any new sports betting legislation since the Supreme Court's decision, the move by the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel was made via a gaming compact with the state. According to Nedra Darling, spokeswoman at the Department of the Interior's Office of Indian Affairs -- the federal agency in Washington, DC that oversees tribal gaming compacts -- the New Mexico compacts permit 'any or all forms of Class III Gaming,' a category in the federal regulations that specifically includes '[a]ny sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering.'

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 32
Population: 2,095,428 (1,529,540 21+)

7. Pennsylvania

Oklahoma Online Sports Betting Sites

The Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course booked the first legal sports bets in Pennsylvania in mid-November 2018. The move came just over a year after Gov. Tom Wolf signed a new sports betting bill as part of a broad legislation push that included online poker and DFS. The October 2017 bill became effective after the Supreme Court's May 2018 ruling upending the federal ban on single-game betting outside of Nevada.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 12
Population: 12,807,060 (9,645,705 21+)

8. Rhode Island

The Twin River Casino in Lincoln opened its doors for legal sports betting on Nov. 26, 2018. The move came five months after Gov. Gina Raimondo signed the state budget, which included language allowing sports betting. Only two locations would be allowed to offer sports betting under the law, with the state's lottery providing regulatory oversight. In early 2019, the law was tweaked to provide for mobile betting.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 2
Population: 1,057,315 (800,838 21+)

9. Arkansas

Online Sports Betting In Michigan

On July 1, 2019, the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort booked the first legal sports bets in Arkansas. Two other retail locations opened sportsbooks in the subsequent months. Sports betting is regulated by the Arkansas Racing Commission.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 3
Population: 3,013,825 (2,191,256 21+)

10. New York

On July 16, 2019, the first legal sports bets were placed in New York. J. Gary Pretlow -- a New York lawmaker and chair of the state's racing and wagering committee -- was among the first to place a wager at the Rivers Casino in Schenectady. The opening of a legal sportsbook came six years after New York passed a law to allow sports betting at four on-site locations, all in upstate New York. After lying dormant for years, the law was revived after the Supreme Court ruling in 2018 and the issuance of regulations earlier this year. The current law does not allow for mobile wagering.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 28
Population: 19,542,209 (14,724,807 21+)

11. Iowa

Legal sports betting arrived in Iowa on Aug. 15, with multiple operators all opening their doors to customers on the first day. The move came three months after Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed into a law a comprehensive bill to legalize sports betting in the Hawkeye State. Operators must pay a $45,000 licensing fee and there is a 6.75 percent tax on revenue. The new law permits mobile wagering. Betting on college sports is permitted, but certain kinds of in-game prop bets involving college games are banned. The new law bestows the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission with authority to regulate sports betting.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No prop betting on in-state college athletics
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 23
Population: 3,156,145 (2,286,374 21+)

12. Oregon

Legal sports betting returned to Oregon on Aug. 27 after a long hiatus, with the first bets booked on-site at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City. Oregon is one of a small number of states that already had a law on the books permitting some forms of sports betting, so the resumption of wagering did not require the legislature to pass any new law or have the governor amend an existing tribal-state compact. In mid-October, mobile sports betting arrived in Oregon too, with the state-run lottery overseeing the launch of a new website and app.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort, but sportsbook operated by the Oregon Lottery does not permit betting on games involving in-state colleges
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 10
Population: 4,190,713 (3,167,912 21+)

13. Indiana

Legal sports betting opened up at a number of locations in Indiana on Sept. 1. The Indiana Gaming Commission oversees all sports betting regulations and has issued licenses to operators across the state. Wagering on both college and pro sports is permitted, but betting on esports and high school sports is banned. Indiana's new law allows for both mobile and in-person wagering. Regulations permit sports leagues or colleges to request 'to utilize a geofence to prohibit wagers at the location of a particular sporting event.'

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No prop betting on in-state college athletics
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 14
Population: 6,691,878 (4,842,337 21+)

14. New Hampshire

Governor Chris Sununo placed the ceremonial first legal sports wager -- on the New England Patriots -- in New Hampshire on Dec. 30, 2019. The state's lottery is in charge of regulatory of regulatory oversight. Both retail and mobile sports betting will be permitted on a wide variety of sports, although no betting on New Hampshire's in-state colleges is allowed.

Type of wagering permitted: Mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on in-state colleges
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 0
Population: 1,356,458 (1,042,882 21+)

15. Illinois

Legal sports betting arrived in Illinois on March 9, 2020. The move came less than a year after the Illinois legislature passed a broad gaming bill that allowed for both online and in-person sports betting. With Governor J.B. Pritzker's signature, the new law also provided for betting on-location at venues such as Wrigley Field. Operators and certain data providers are required to obtain a license under the new law.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No wagering on minor leagues or Illinois college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 10
Population: 12,741,080 (9,391,158 21+)

16. Michigan

Legal sports betting in Michigan commenced on March 11, 2020, with two Detroit-area casinos launching on the same day. The move came less than three months after Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed the 'Lawful Sports Betting Act' into law. The new law provides for wagering on a wide variety of sports, including college contests.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 27
Population: 9.995,915 (7,428,72721+)

17. Montana

Legal sports betting arrived in Montana in March 2020. The move came after Governor Steve Bullock formally signed into law a 28-page bill that brought sports wagering to Big Sky country via the state's lottery. Governor Bullock cited the Montana Lottery's 'proven track record of responsibility and integrity' when signing the bill.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 13
Population: 1,062,305 (793,151 21+)

18. Colorado

May 1, 2020 marked the launch of legal sports betting in Colorado, with multiple operators allowing residents to open accounts online and place wagers. The move came less than six months after Colorado voters -- by a narrow margin -- approved a ballot measure that would provide 'for the regulation of sports betting through licensed casinos.' Both mobile and retail sports betting are permitted. Tax revenue from sports betting will help fund various state water projects.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 35
Population: 5,695,564 (4,210,663.00 21+)

19. Washington, D.C.

In June 2020, the D.C. Lottery launched its 'GameBetDC' platform allowing consumers 'to wager while in the District on major sports worldwide' via computer or mobile device. Sports betting in nation's capital followed the passage of the Sports Wagering Lottery Amendment Act of 2018 and a Congressional review period during which time Congress did not formally object. The Office of Lottery and Gaming provides regulatory oversight of all sports wagering in D.C.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions:No betting on games involving colleges located in D.C.
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019):None
Population: 705,749

20. Tennessee

Regulated sports wagering -- all online -- launched on November 1, 2020 in Tennessee with four licensed operators offering a wide variety of options. The 'Tennessee Sports Gaming Act' permits statewide mobile sports betting without any brick-and-mortar anchor. As such, there are no in-person retail sports betting locations in the state. Subject to an exception, Tennessee's new law requires all licensed operators to 'exclusively use official league data for purposes of live betting.'

Type of wagering permitted: Mobile only
Notable prohibitions:None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019):None
Population: 6,829,174

On-deck circle

21. North Carolina

On July 26, 2019, Governor Roy Cooper signed into a law a bill to 'allow sports and horse race wagering on tribal lands,' with such betting designated as a 'Class III' gaming activity under the state compact. The new law permits betting on both college and professional sports, but all bettors must place their wagers in-person at one of two retail locations.

22. Washington

Governor Jay Inslee signed Washington's sports betting bill into law on March 25, 2020. The new law permits sports wagering at Class III tribal casinos in the state. Mobile sports wagering is not allowed statewide, but is permitted when on-site at a licensed tribal casino. Betting on an 'esports competition or event' is allowed, but the new law bans wagering on games involving in-state colleges or minor league professional events. The new bill delegates regulatory oversight to the Washington State Gambling Commission.

23. Virginia

After some back-and-forth between Governor Ralph Northam and the legislature, legalized sports wagering was approved in the Commonwealth of Virginia in April 2020. Online betting is allowed, but wagering is not permitted on Virginia-based college sports or certain youth sports.

24. Maryland

In November 2020, Maryland voters approved 'sports and events betting for the primary purpose of raising revenue for education' by about a 2-1 margin. A regulatory framework must be created by Maryland lawmakers before any sports wagering takes place. The Maryland referendum would potentially allow for both in-person and mobile sports betting throughout the state.

25. South Dakota

On November 3, 2020, voters in South Dakota approved a ballot measure permitting 'sports wagering in Deadwood.' Other tribal locations in South Dakota could see the arrival of regulated sports betting too. State lawmakers must now establish a regulatory apparatus and tax rate for legalized sports wagering.

26. Louisiana

In November 2020, voters in the vast majority of Louisiana's 64 parishes approved a ballot measure permitting 'sports wagering activities and operations.' As a result, regulated sports wagering could come to New Orleans and certain other cities as early as 2021. Lawmakers will be tasked with setting up a regulatory scheme during an upcoming state legislative session.

Moving toward legalization

All of these states have seen some degree of legislative activity towards the legalization of sports betting the past few years.

27. Oklahoma

In April 2020, two federally-recognized tribes reached agreement with Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on new gaming compacts that include sports betting. On June 8, 2020, Governor Stitt announced that the Department of the Interior had approved the compacts, paving the way for sports betting to start in Oklahoma as soon as the 'compacts are published in the Federal Register.' A bipartisan group of state lawmakers, along with Oklahoma's attorney general, have expressed opposition to the expansion of sports betting in Oklahoma and the prospect of legalized sports wagering remains uncertain.

28. Maine

On the last day of the state's 2019 legislative session -- June 19 -- Maine lawmakers passed 'An Act to Ensure Proper Oversight of Sports Betting in the State.' Shortly thereafter, the governor vetoed the bill. The legislature could re-introduce the bill later.

29. Nebraska

On November 3, 2020, Nebraska voters approved certain amendments to its state constitution legalizing 'all games of chance.' If the new constitutional amendments are construed to include wagering on sporting events, legalized sports betting could arrive in Nebraska upon the establishment of certain regulations.

No legalization activity ... yet

49-50. Idaho and Wisconsin

These states have not had any publicly-announced bills devoted to sports betting legalization.

Unlikely

51. Utah

Utah's anti-gambling stance is written into the state's constitution. Any change to existing state policy toward gambling would be a massive departure from decades of opposition to any form of gambling, including lottery tickets, table games and sports betting.

While many states have legalized online sports betting or are in the process, Oklahoma is in limbo. Despite the Federal Supreme Court overturning PASPA in 2018, which banned sports betting, after two years, there were still no legal Oklahoma betting sites.

In mid-2020, two of the Native American tribes in the state -- Comanche Nation and Otoe-Missouria -- negotiated their gaming compacts with Governor Kevin Stitt. These new agreements would allow them to open Oklahoma sports betting at their casinos.

Unfortunately the State Supreme Court intervened and blocked the move, ruling that the legislature didn’t yet approve OK sports betting. As of late 2020, the OK sports betting bill is awaiting the Oklahoma Legislature in 2021. Should the State Senate pass the bill, it’ll pave the way for legal Oklahoma sports betting and Oklahoma betting sites.

Until the state legalizes Oklahoma sports betting, residents must make do with wagering at offshore sportsbooks located outside U.S. jurisdiction. Another alternative is to travel to another state with legal sports betting. Whatever they choose, Oklahomans must wait until 2021 to see if Oklahoma sports betting sites are allowed.

Daily Fantasy Sports in Oklahoma

Daily Fantasy sports are considered legal in Oklahoma as no laws allude to them specifically. Although they’re games of skill and not of chance, some tribes feel otherwise.

In 2016, there was a move towards legislation governing fantasy sports, but various tribes opposed this. Their reason was that a bill excluded tribes from benefiting from revenue generated, and was contrary to the terms of the compacts existing between the state and the tribes.

There haven’t been further attempts to disrupt the status quo of these fantasy sports. As long as this gray area continues, where fantasy sports are neither legal or illegal, they’re likely to remain a viable alternative for OK sports betting enthusiasts.

Residents over 18 years of age can participate in NBA, MLB and NHL daily fantasy sports. Both FanDuel and DraftKings operate in Oklahoma, as they do successfully in most other US states.

With these fantasy sportsbooks already having a foot in the gambling door, once the state finally legalizes Oklahoma sports betting, fantasy players can wager on live sports on their Oklahoma sports betting apps as well as at Oklahoma sportsbooks.

Most Likely Oklahoma Sportsbooks

Until an Oklahoma sports betting bill passes in the state Senate, it’s mere speculation as to which sportsbooks will be the first to offer Oklahoma online sports betting. Based on other states already offering legal sports betting, we can narrow the options down to these three sportsbooks.

FanDuel

FanDuel sportsbook is available in 18 states, either for mobile or retail sports betting. In some states like Oklahoma that don’t yet offer Oklahoma online sports betting, bettors there can still enjoy the daily fantasy sports available at this popular betting site.

FanDuel has exciting welcome bonuses for new bettors, among other promotions. With its well-rounded offering, it's likely to be one of the first Oklahoma sportsbooks to open.

DraftKings

Another popular Oklahoma sportsbook we hope to see in the future is DraftKings. It operates in the state for daily fantasy sports only but has rolled out mobile and retail sports betting in many states.

DraftKings has a full package of sports betting on a variety of markets and daily fantasy sports. As one of the first sportsbooks in America, it’ll undoubtedly be quick off the mark as one of the first legal Oklahoma sports betting apps in the state.

PointsBet

PointsBet sportsbook first launched in the U.S.in January 2019. It’s become an integral part of sports betting across the country and offers online betting in four states, with two more on the horizon.

The unique betting system, aptly named “pointsbetting”, is a drawing card for many bettors and operates on the proviso that the more you’re right, the more you win. It’s certain to be one of the popular Oklahoma betting sites when Oklahoma sports betting and Oklahoma sports betting apps become legal.

Oklahoma Betting Laws

Oklahoma has 120 casinos run by 33 tribes. While they all legally offer land-based gambling on slot machines, video poker and table games, Oklahoma sports betting is not yet legal.

There were attempts to legalize Oklahoma sports betting in early 2020. However, the OK Supreme Court ruled that renegotiating gambling compacts with native tribes to include Oklahoma sportsbooks was outside Governor Stitt’s mandate.

Had these amended compacts gone ahead, The state would have followed New Mexico in legalizing sports betting in Oklahoma without involving the state Legislature.

The Oklahoma sports betting bill proposal now heads to the state Legislature for approval, but there’s currently no set date for this. Until the state Legislature passes an Oklahoma sports betting bill, residents must make do with daily fantasy sports or wager on offshore sportsbooks.

Future of Oklahoma Online Sports Betting

Oklahoma sports betting is off to a rocky start, and the current situation doesn’t look promising. Since initial attempts to legalize betting in Oklahoma failed, and with Oklahoma sports betting only up for discussion in 2021, OK residents may have to exercise patience.

While it may be some time before we see Oklahoma sports betting sites and Oklahoma sports betting apps popping up in the state, avid sports fans can bet elsewhere. International online sportsbooks operating outside U.S. jurisdiction offer OK sports betting. Residents can also travel to other states with legal sports betting.

Oklahoma Online Sports Betting: Events and Betting Markets

A potential OK sports betting option will give bettors many exciting markets to wager on at Oklahoma betting sites. Football, hockey, baseball and basketball are popular across the country, while tennis, golf and rugby also provide wagering options in other states with legal wagering.

Tournaments and annual events attract OK sports betting enthusiasts, who will likely have access to the following events and leagues when betting on regulated Oklahoma sportsbooks:

• Kentucky Derby
• NFL
• Super Bowl
• Major Tennis Tournaments
• PGA Tour Golf
• NCAA College Football
• MLB
• FIFA World Cup
• Horse Racing

Betting on Pro Sports Teams in Oklahoma

If you like to keep it local, there are several exciting teams to bet on in Oklahoma. You might want to include these traditional American sports teams on your betting slips.

NFL Betting in Oklahoma

Although college football is hugely popular in Oklahoma, the state doesn’t have its own NFL franchise team. Neither of the main cities, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, have the infrastructure or resources to support a team of this nature.

Regardless, the sports lovers in Oklahoma follow the NFL and mostly lend their support to the Dallas Cowboys for Oklahoma sports betting out of state.

Dallas Cowboys Betting

This football team has its home in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area, with a headquarters in Frisco, Texas. The Cowboys compete in the National Football Conference East Division and play home games at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

NBA Betting in Oklahoma

Unlike the NFL, Oklahoma does have an NBA team and has had since the 2008-2009 season when it moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City. Oklahoma residents can enjoy some Oklahoma sports betting on its NBA team at many offshore sportsbooks offering betting in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City Thunder Betting

Oklahoma City Thunder derives its name from the fact that Oklahoma is in Tornado Alley and prone to severe storms.

The team plays in the Western Conference Northwest Division of the NBA. Its home ground is the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. SInce moving from Seattle to Oklahoma, the Thunder has yet to win a championship.

NHL Betting in Oklahoma

Although Oklahoma fields a hockey team in the American Hockey League, the Tulsa Oilers, it doesn’t have an NHL team to call its own. Over the years, the Tulsa Oilers announced affiliations with various NHL teams.

This affiliation rule has been an NHL requirement since the 2010/2011 season. The Oilers’ most recent affiliation is with the St. Louis Blues, but hockey fans participating in Oklahoma sports betting tend to support the Dallas Stars.

Dallas Stars Betting

The Dallas Stars play its NHL games in the Central Division of the Western Conference. Since 2001, its home ground has been the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

The Stars won the Division Championships eight times, and the Stanley Cup once in 1998-99. By far, this was the team’s best season, yielding wins in the Division Championships, Conference Championships, Presidents’ Trophy and Stanley Cup.

MLB Betting in Oklahoma

Even though baseball is a hugely popular sport for potential Oklahoma online sports betting, the state is yet to have an MLB team. The closest it gets is the Oklahoma City Dodgers, a minor league team and the Triple-A affiliate of the MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers.

However, Major League Baseball enthusiasts in Oklahoma generally support the Kansas City Royals. No doubt, when Oklahoma sports betting apps hit the state, this will still be the MLB team of choice.

Kansas City Royals Betting

Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the Royals compete in the American League Central Division. The team has played in four World Series, winning in 1985 and 2015. It plays home games at the Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, the home of the Royals since 1973.

Other Oklahoma Teams to Bet On

With no Oklahoma sports betting options in the state itself, residents visitors of legal gambling age are hoping for the laws on OK sports betting to change. In some states, betting on college teams isn’t permitted, but for Oklahomans, we don’t expect collegiate betting to be restricted.

When Oklahoma betting sites launch and betting in Oklahoma is legalized, Oklahoma online sports betting sites and Oklahoma sports betting apps are likely to offer odds on the following teams.

Betting on College Football in Oklahoma

Oklahoma Sooners Betting

The Sooners represent the University of Oklahoma in Norman. They compete in the Big 12 Conference, a Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. With 49 conference championships under their belt, the Oklahoma Sooners is a force to reckon with on potential Oklahoma betting sites.

Oklahoma State Cowboys Betting

The Oklahoma State Cowboys is the home team of the Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. They’re a member of the Big 12 Conference and compete against the Sooners in the Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision of the NCCA. The team plays home games at the Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater.

Betting on College Basketball in Oklahoma

Oklahoma Sooners Betting

The University of Oklahoma in Norman is home to the Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team, and plays in the Big 12 Conference of the NCAA Division 1 basketball. The team was runner-up in the NCAA tournament twice, in 1947 and 1988, but has yet to win the tournament.

Oklahoma City Stars Betting

Online Sports Betting Legal Oklahoma

The home team of the Oklahoma City University, the Stars compete in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and the Sooner Athletic Conference. The team previously competed in the NCAA tournament 11 times, most recently in 1973.
