Alright, folks, I keep hearing mixed answers about Texas sports betting—so what’s the real deal?
Can you sports bet in Texas, or is it still one of those “technically illegal but people still do it” situations?
From what I gather, online sports betting in Texas is still not legal, and there are no legal sportsbooks operating in the state. But that hasn’t stopped people from using offshore sites like BetUS and others to place bets. Some folks also swear by using daily fantasy sports apps like Prizepicks, but then I see debates about whether PrizePicks is legal in Texas too.
TX laws seem to be in limbo—there’s always talk about legalizing sports betting, but nothing ever moves forward. So, what’s the best way to bet if you’re in Texas? Are online apps the only way to go, or do some of you use retail books in nearby states?
Would love to hear from anyone who bets from Texas and what sites or workarounds they use. Let’s figure this out!
