Why Can’t I Bet on the Belmont Stakes on TVG.com From My State?

I can’t seem to bet on the Belmont Stakes from my state accessing the TVG.com website.  Why is that?

TVG.com is licensed and regulated in the United States.  They must provide their services in accordance with U.S. law and policy. 

In this case, some states (over a dozen) prohibit online betting on horse races for various reasons.  International online racebooks do not have the same restrictions so you are able to bet on the Belmont Stakes at sites like BetPhoenix.

TVG.com does not accept bets from these states.

Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, Canada

Can't Bet on Twinspires.com From Mississippi

Despite it being among the very first states to legalize sports betting following the US Supreme Court decision to abolish decades of prohibition in 2018, Mississippi still doesn't allow mobile sports wagering....and that includes betting on the Kentucky Derby.  As such, TwinSpires.com is not available here.

Can't Bet the Kentucky Derby With Twinspires From My State

TwinSpires is available from most US states.  Those states where the app is not available mostly do not feature any of the competition either.  BetOnline is available in states where TwinSpires is not for those 18 and up with two exceptions, New Jersey and Nevada.
