Where is Betr Legal?

Understanding Betr’s Offering

Betr launched with a focus on microbetting — allowing users to wager on individual moments during live sports. Since then, the platform has expanded into fantasy pick’em contests through Betr Picks, offering real-money gameplay that’s legal in more states than traditional sportsbooks.

Depending on your location, you may have access to:

• Betr Picks: a daily fantasy sports (DFS) product where users predict player stats or game outcomes

• Betr Picks Group Play (Peer-to-Peer): a multiplayer format where users compete directly against each other

Betr Legal States in 2025

As of mid-2025, Betr Picks and Group Play are available in over 30 states, with some jurisdictions supporting only the peer-to-peer version. This model enables Betr to operate under fantasy sports regulations instead of sports betting laws, expanding its footprint beyond the sportsbook-only states.

Here is the full list of Betr legal states where one or both fantasy formats are permitted:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

It’s important to note that in several of these states — including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, and others — only the Group Play (Peer-to-Peer) version of Betr is allowed. This distinction typically reflects more restrictive laws around DFS or prize-based competitions in those regions.

How Laws Vary by State

The fragmented nature of U.S. gambling legislation means that Betr’s operations look different depending on where you are. In some states, Betr cannot legally operate its sportsbook but can offer DFS-style contests under fantasy regulations. In others, even peer-to-peer gameplay faces regulatory hurdles.

This dynamic landscape requires constant updates, and Betr maintains close compliance with local laws by geo-restricting access through its mobile app. If you’re unsure whether you can play in your state, the app will detect your location and inform you of your options.

Will Betr Expand to More States?

Betr continues to seek expansion in both regulated sports betting and DFS markets. By focusing on pick’em and peer-to-peer formats, the company has been able to bypass more restrictive betting laws in many jurisdictions, significantly broadening its reach.

While some large markets — such as New York and Nevada — are still off-limits due to regulatory barriers, industry observers expect further legalization efforts and legislative changes to reshape the map in the coming years.
