Prediction Markets in South Carolina

Status: not blocked by the state, private lawsuit pending. Last verified October 2, 2026.

Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket US are regulated federally by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. South Carolina has no sports betting regulator, and we found no cease-and-desist letter or state lawsuit against a prediction market in South Carolina.

On July 30, 2026, a retired attorney sued Polymarket, DraftKings Predictions and several exchanges and market makers in Charleston County. He argues their sports event contracts are illegal betting under South Carolina law and seeks to recover losses under a gambling-loss recovery statute, Section 32-1-10. Kalshi is not a defendant. Courthouse News report

Federal courts are split on whether states can regulate these contracts. The Sixth Circuit (Ohio and Tennessee) and the Ninth Circuit (Nevada) sided with states, while the Third Circuit sided with Kalshi in New Jersey.

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

Online Casinos in South Carolina

Online casinos are not legal in South Carolina. State law makes it a crime to keep or play at a gaming house, and no law licenses online casino games.

House Bill 4176 would allow a casino along Interstate 95. It was heard in late January 2026 and sent back to the House Ways and Means Committee. News report

South Carolina Sports Betting Law and Timeline

  • December 12, 2024: House Bill 3625, an interactive sports wagering bill, was prefiled and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. It has not advanced since. H.3625 on the South Carolina Legislature site
  • March 12, 2025: Senators Davis and Leber introduced Senate Bill 444, the South Carolina Sports Wagering Act, which was referred to the Senate Committee on Labor, Commerce and Industry. S.444 on the South Carolina Legislature site
  • February 18, 2026: A Senate Labor, Commerce and Industry panel discussed S.444 but did not vote. The bill remains in committee. News report
  • July 30, 2026: A South Carolina resident sued Polymarket, DraftKings Predictions and others in Charleston County, claiming their sports event contracts break the state's ban on sports betting. Courthouse News report

Offshore and unlicensed betting

South Carolina law does not mention online or offshore sports betting. The general ban is Section 16-19-130, which makes bookmaking, pool selling, recording bets on any contest of skill, speed or endurance, and receiving or forwarding money bet a misdemeanor, with a fine of up to $1,000, up to six months in jail, or both. It also covers anyone who aids those acts. Section 16-19-40 separately punishes playing at a gaming house with up to 30 days in jail or a fine of up to $100.

Neither section names internet or offshore sportsbooks, and the gambling chapter has no rule on advertising. Under Section 32-1-10, a person who loses $50 or more gambling may sue the winner to recover it within three months. We found no state enforcement action against a named offshore sportsbook.

South Carolina Sports Betting FAQ

No. Sports betting is not legal in South Carolina, online or in person. Bills to legalize it, including S.444 and H.3625, remain in committee.

No. There are no licensed sportsbooks in South Carolina, so visitors cannot place legal sports bets there. Legal apps only accept bets from people physically located in a state where they are licensed.

The state has taken no action against Kalshi. Prediction markets are regulated by the CFTC, but a private lawsuit filed July 30, 2026, claims Polymarket and DraftKings Predictions offer illegal sports betting in South Carolina. Check the Kalshi app for current availability.

No. South Carolina does not license online sportsbooks or online casinos.

No law licenses them, and South Carolina's gambling laws do not mention online or offshore betting by name. Section 16-19-130 makes bookmaking and recording or placing bets on contests a misdemeanor, and Section 16-19-40 punishes playing at a gaming house. Offshore books offer no state consumer protections.
