Can I Bet Sports on FOX Bet Online From Alabama
While you may see advertisements and news stories about FOX Bet (the soon-to-launch betting app from Fox Sports and the Stars Group), betting on this app or website is prohibited from the state of Alabama. Currently, only offshore sportsbooks can be accessed here.
Sports Betting in Alabama
While offshore sportsbooks are accessible from the state, Alabama is unlikely to license sportsbooks to operate within its borders due to a strong anti-gambling stance. Despite this, Alabama does have casinos.
All Alabama casinos are run entirely by the Native Americans on their reservations as there is no legalized casino gambling within the state. These casinos offer bingo and slots.

About FOX Bet
Similar to the Skybet deal in Europe, Fox Sports looks to use its powerful media presence gain an edge over the competition by offering real money sports betting in states that authorize the activity. Even some that do may prevent the FOX Bet brand from taking real money wagers due to licensing restrictions. Likewise, states offering sports betting will not all have mobile.
