There are very little in the way of any limits when it comes to betting on Indiana regulated sportsbook apps compared to those sportsbooks offshore. We examine some of the more common differences below, including the most glaring, an inability to place bets on in-play college football and basketball player props.
Indiana Regulated vs. Internationally Licensed
| State Regulated | Internationally Regulated (Offshore) |
| App | Browser Based |
| 21 and up | 18 and up |
| No In-Play College Player Props | In-Play College Player Props Offered |
| Best Signup Bonus Found: $1250 Caesars | Best Signup Bonus Found: $2500 BetUS |
| No Online Casino | Live Dealer Online Casino |
| Reports Winnings | Does Not Report Winnings |
| Social Security Number Required | No Social Security Number Required |
| Bitcoin/Crypto Deposits and Withdrawals Not Offered | Bitcoin/Crypto Deposits and Withdrawals Available |
| Payout Time and Limits Vary | Free Payouts 24/7 Up to $5000 Daily |
Though internationally licensed online sportsbooks are not obligated to report your winnings, and thus making these long established books often more attractive, you are still encouraged to claim your winnings (minus losses of course) on your tax filings.
The state's tax rate of 3.23% applies to all winnings while 25% of all winnings are withheld federally with the state regulated apps.
State regulated apps in Indiana include the following:
FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars, BetRivers, BetMGM, Betway, Unibet
PointsBet is in the process of being acquired by Fanatics.
Unibet has been switching to proprietary software on a state-by-state basis.
WynnBET also operates here. We would encourage you to check out their lines before placing a bet as we've seen some wide differences in MLB games of late that might vary depending on the state.
SBK Sportsbook, Barstool (just moved to proprietary software), Hard Rock, Bally Bet are each available apps in the state.
Indiana permits remote registration (no need to sign up for an account in person).
Gambling911 has rewarded Indiana an A- for its regulated sports betting apps
The limits on in-play college football player props as well as a state tax drives down the appeal only slightly. We would note that college player props are allowed provided it is not part of the live in-play wagering. This is not a killer and barely factors into the overall grade. Indiana also does not offer online casino gambling. In the end, just a few minor limitations combined together, including the age restriction of 21, brings the grade down from an A to an A-.
