Traditional California sports betting is illegal, and all attempts to legalize it failed in 2022. Changes to this may occur, but no sooner than 2026.

Yet, Californians can still bet legally if they do it online. The Golden State has no limits to ban its residents from betting on offshore sites operating legally online, and in this article, we'll give a short and simple guide on how you can bet on sports while living in California.

Let’s get started!

How do you bet on sports in California?

The first thing you need to know about sportsbetting in California is that if you want to do it legally, you must find a website registered outside the United States.

That's right: sports betting is NOT legal in California, but it is legal if you place bets online on a resource operating outside the U.S.

There are numerous safe sports betting websites operating from countries like Panama, Costa Rica, Curaçao, Ukraine, etc. To use them, you must be over 18, start an account, deposit funds, and make your bets!
