Minnesota gambling laws are pretty restrictive in that while most forms of land-based gambling are legal and fairly abundant, just about all forms of online gambling are illegal in the state. Take a closer look at Minnesota's gambling laws in the article below.

Generally speaking, most forms of offline gambling are legal in the state, but Minnesota laws on online gambling make internet-based activities illegal in most cases. The legality of gambling in the state is outlined in Minnesota Statutes 349.11 and 609.75, with the Minnesota Gambling Control Board overseeing and licensing the industry.

Here's a look at how Minnesota's gambling laws affect each type of gambling activity.

Gaming

Casino gambling is legal in Minnesota, but only at one of the 18 tribal casinos that operate within the state. Minnesota was the first US state to allow tribal casinos to operate after passing the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act in 1988. Still, they failed to mention taxation, effectively allowing the tribes to operate casinos fee-free. Treasure Island Resort and Casino, Grand Casino Hinckley and Mystic Lake Casino Hotel are amongst the state's largest and most popular venues.

Minnesota laws on online gambling are pretty clear, with online casino gambling deemed illegal in the state. The laws include a provision to confiscate computers used for online gambling. However, there is no record of prosecution of players for gambling on online casino slots and other games at the various online casinos that accept residents of Minnesota.

Poker

Poker gambling is legal in Minnesota, with games played at many tribal casinos. The state's two racinos also offer poker games, but no-limit games are prohibited.

Online poker gambling is illegal in Minnesota even though it is considered a game of skill in the state. Those wishing to play online poker can do so at the many available poker sites that accept players from Minnesota, although this would technically be classed as illegal.

Bingo

Bingo gambling is legal in Minnesota, with games offered at the tribal casinos. Bingo games are also permitted to be operated for charitable purposes. Online bingo gambling is illegal in Minnesota, although there is no record of players from the state ever being prosecuted for enjoying such games at bingo casinos online.

Lotteries

Lottery gambling is legal in Minnesota, with the Minnesota State Lottery authorized to offer tickets for popular national draw games, including Powerball and Mega Millions, scratch cards, instant games and raffles.

Online lottery gambling is illegal in Minnesota. Except for a small stint between 2013 and 2015, even the state lottery is not permitted to offer ticket sales online via its website, which is only for informational purposes. Minnesotans can play online lottery games for real money via the numerous sites that accept players from the state, but this is illegal.

Social games of poker that take place within private residences are permitted by law as long as there is no profit in the form of fees or rake. Like other US states, Minnesota doesn't currently regulate modern forms of gambling, such as loot boxes and skins gambling. However, there is much debate on the national level about such activities.

Minnesota does not recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tender, so none of the state's gambling venues accept them as payment. However, state residents can still gamble using Bitcoin and altcoins at the various crypto casinos that accept Minnesotan players.

Sports betting is illegal in Minnesota. Many attempts have been made over the years to open up the sports betting market in the state, but to no avail, and there doesn't appear to be any appetite to pass such bills. Similarly, online sports betting is illegal in Minnesota, although many online sports betting sites accept members from the state.

Daily fantasy sports betting is similarly deemed illegal in the state of Minnesota. However, hugely popular sites such as FanDuel and DraftKings still offer their services to Minnesotans, as there has yet to be a legal challenge.

The only form of legal sports betting in Minnesota is parimutuel horse racing betting, offered at the state's two licensed racetracks: Canterbury Park and Running Aces Casino and Racetrack.

The Minnesota gambling age is 18, but those gambling at premises licensed to sell alcohol must be at least 21.

Tax Regulation

Minnesota gambling tax regulation requires all residents to pay income tax at the rate of 6.875%, and this applies to gambling winnings. At the federal level, those receiving gambling winnings will incur a 24% tax withheld by operators.

The earliest mention of gambling laws in Minnesota was in 1857, when it was specifically stated that the sale of lottery tickets was not authorized. Bingo games operated for charitable purposes were legalized in 1945. The law was clarified in 1963 to confirm the legality of social games as long as they were unrelated to commercial operations. The first tribal bingo hall opened in 1981. Parimutuel horse racing betting was legalized in 1982, with the Minnesota Racing Commission launched in 1983.

The Minnesota State Lottery was launched in 1988, the same year the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was passed, allowing tribal casinos to operate. Licensed racetracks were allowed to operate card clubs in 1999, and Texas Hold'em tournaments were permitted in bars and restaurants from 2005. In 2012, racetracks were legally permitted to start offering banked card games.

Since overruling the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in 2019, several sports betting bills have been proposed in Minnesota, including one in 2023. Still, none have successfully been passed to date.
