Is Sports Betting Legal in Minnesota?

Sports betting is not legal in Minnesota, online or in person. A 2026 bill to legalize it stalled in the Senate. A new state law bans prediction markets, but a federal judge blocked it before it took effect, so apps such as Kalshi and Polymarket US can still operate while the case continues. This guide covers those options and what Minnesota law says.

Prediction Markets in Minnesota

Status: contested. Last verified October 2, 2026.

Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket US are regulated federally by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. On May 18, 2026, Minnesota became the first state to ban them by law. Senate File 4760 made it a felony to operate, help operate or advertise a prediction market, starting August 1, 2026. Bill page

The CFTC, Kalshi and Polymarket sued to stop the law. Attorney General Keith Ellison defends it, calling prediction markets "gambling, plain and simple." Attorney General statement On July 28, 2026, a federal judge blocked enforcement while the case continues, so the ban has not taken effect. The Block report

Prediction markets matter for matched betting because they do not limit winning traders. Check each app for current availability in Minnesota before you deposit.

Offshore and unlicensed betting

Minnesota has no law that names online or offshore sportsbooks. Its general gambling laws apply instead. Making a bet is a misdemeanor under Minnesota Statutes section 609.755. Receiving or forwarding bets is a gross misdemeanor, and sports bookmaking is a felony, under section 609.76. None of these sections mentions the internet.

On November 5, 2025, Attorney General Keith Ellison cited these laws in letters to 14 unlicensed sites, including Bovada, BetOnline, BetUS, MyBookie and Sportsbetting.com, saying that online sportsbooks and casinos run by out-of-state and overseas operators are not legal in Minnesota. Attorney General announcement, sample letter
