Can I Bet the England Premier League Online From Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana?
Premier League Football from the UK will be more popular than ever from North America as more matches are set to be broadcast starting this year (2018). You can bet the England Premier League Football from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana with any number of top internationally-licensed online sports betting sites.
New Laws
In May 2018, the US Supreme Court ruled that individual states may now permit sports betting once laws are amended at the local level. The reason for this is that most state laws currently prohibit sports wagering and amendments are necessary. Not all states will embrace the activity and only a handful are expected to offer mobile/online betting outside designated establishments such as casinos and race tracks. No matter, residence of most states are still able to access international sports gambling sites.
What About My State?
Washington is the only US state that specifically prohibits online gambling and holds the actual bettor liable. That law has never been enforced however. Regardless, Washington State is not among those that are currently considering legislation.
Oregon already has a law on the books permitting some forms of sports betting as they were among four states exempted from the previous prohibition, and the law could be expanded in the future. The Oregon Lottery oversees all of this and may not make things easy.
Montana was among those four states exempt, with the state lottery controlling this aspect and currently offering a fantasy football pool betting option that attracts little interest from a state with such a small population. Like with Oregon, the lottery stands in the way of any expansion.
Idaho has shown little interest in amending its laws.
Soccer Betting in My State
Oregon and Washington have huge Soccer fan bases thanks to Major League Soccer franchises playing in Portland and Seattle. Sports books believe this translates into interest in other leagues such as the Premier League.
