Oklahoma's gambling laws are contained within Oklahoma Statutes, Title 21 section 941: Gambling and Title 3A section 200: Horse Racing. Generally speaking, all unlicensed gambling activities are illegal in Oklahoma. However, many licensed gambling activities are available to Oklahomans, including casino gaming, bingo, lottery and parimutuel horse racing betting.

Online gambling is illegal for the most part. The Gaming Compliance Unit oversees tribal gambling, and the Oklahoma Lottery Commission regulates lottery gambling. Here's a look at how Oklahoma's gambling laws affect each type of gambling activity.

Casino Games

Casino gambling is legal in Oklahoma, with the state home to 65 casinos run by the many native American tribes that live there. Tribal casinos are the only casinos allowed to operate in the state, and residents have plenty to choose from, including the WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Catoosa, and the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant. Dice and wheel-based games are not permitted in Oklahoma according to state gambling laws, so games such as Craps and Roulette operate using cards instead.

Online casino gambling is technically illegal in Oklahoma due to the state's definition of gambling. Although betting online is not specifically mentioned in state gambling laws, existing legislation is enough to extend to these activities. State authorities show little interest in prosecuting individuals for playing online casino slots and other games.

Poker

Poker gambling is legal in Oklahoma, with most of the bigger casinos in the state offering poker gameplay in their well-furnished poker rooms. Residents have around 20 poker rooms to choose from where they can play No Limit Hold'em and Limit Omaha cash games and participate in daily tournaments.

Online poker gambling is classed as illegal in Oklahoma. None of the existing poker room operators are permitted to offer poker games online, and there is no way for foreign online operators to set up shop in the state. Oklahomans can still find plenty of sites that allow them to join and play poker online. While the law technically doesn't permit this gambling activity, prosecution is unlikely.

Bingo

Bingo gambling is legal in Oklahoma, with numerous bingo halls operating in the state. Charitable organizations usually offer games to generate much-needed funds for their causes, with these venues quite popular in Oklahoma. Commercial bingo operators are not allowed in the state.

Lotteries

Not even the Oklahoma Lottery is allowed to sell tickets or games online, with their website serving for informational purposes only, such as where to find your nearest retailer and how the games are played. Residents looking to play online lottery games for real money can do so via the numerous online lottery casino sites that accept players from the state. Although the law deems this illegal gambling activity, there is little appetite for prosecution of individual players.

Social casinos that allow players to enjoy casino games using play chips are legal in Oklahoma. However, home-based poker games are prohibited, even if no rake or fees are taken. Modern gambling activities such as loot boxes and skins gambling haven't yet been defined in the law and remain unregulated.

Even though Oklahoma recognizes cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as a form of monetary value and encourages cryptocurrency mining operations within its borders via tax breaks, none of the existing gambling venues in the state accept cryptocurrencies as payment. Oklahomans can play casino games using virtual coins at crypto gambling sites.

Due to the many tribal casinos' inability to agree, sports betting remains illegal in Oklahoma. A few attempts have been made to pass sports betting legislation recently, but failure to negotiate terms has stopped bills from progressing. Online sports betting is illegal in Oklahoma.

The only form of sports betting legal in the state is parimutuel horse racing, which is offered live and off-track betting at Oklahoma's three racetracks. Online betting is also permitted on horse racing via TwinSpires.

Oklahoma's gambling laws focus on the definition of gambling, which refers to games of chance, with many arguing that daily fantasy sports don't fall under the definition of games of skill. However, due to pushback from the tribes in the state, proposed bills legalizing daily fantasy sports back in 2016 were rejected. That said, top providers such as FanDuel and DraftKings continue to offer DFS betting to Oklahomans, with state authorities showing little interest in stopping these operators.

The legal gambling age in Oklahoma varies depending on the activities involved. Those aged at least 18 years old can take part in bingo games, parimutuel horse racing betting and lottery games. However, many casinos (i.e. those holding an alcohol licence) restrict entry to those aged 21 or over.

Tax Regulation

Oklahoma gambling tax regulation means tribal casinos pay an increasing tax rate depending on their revenue, with 4% charged for the first $10 million, 5% for the next $10 million and 6% charged for over $20 million in revenue.

Oklahomans' gambling winnings are regarded as supplementary wages and are charged the state income tax rate of 0.25% and 4.75% depending on income. This is in addition to the 24% withholding tax that's charged at the federal level.

The earliest gambling laws in Oklahoma date back to 1916, when all forms of gambling were banned. Parimutuel horse racing betting was legalized in 1982 with the passing of the Oklahoma Horse Racing Act.

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act that passed in 1988 permitted native American tribes to cooperate with casinos on their land. Still, it took another 15 years before the first tribal casino was approved for construction due to the state refusing to sign compacts for anything beyond parimutuel horse racing and bingo.

In the meantime, gambling on charitable bingo games and raffles was legalized in 1992, and lottery gambling was permitted in 2004, with the Oklahoma Lottery launched in 2005. Legislation was finally approved for tribal casinos to offer limited casino-style games in 2004, with compacts agreed with most tribes within the four years that followed.
