Utah's rich Mormon history means it is one of the most anti-gambling states in the country, with almost all forms of gambling classed as illegal. The only tolerated forms of gambling in Utah are bingo, under very strictly controlled conditions, and daily fantasy sports, which currently sit in a grey area.

Utah's gambling laws are outdated and extremely restrictive, with almost all forms of gambling, including online gambling, explicitly banned within state borders. Those caught engaging in gambling face class B misdemeanour charges and punishment of up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. The charge is upgraded to class A misdemeanour for those caught two or more times, resulting in jail time of up to 1 year and a fine of up to $2,500.

Here's a closer look at how Utah's strict gambling laws affect the various popular gambling activities.

Casino Games

Casino gambling is illegal in Utah. No casinos, slot halls or casino-style gambling venues are within state borders. Tribal casinos are prohibited in the state as authorities refused to sign compacts with the eight local tribes. Residents wishing to play casino games have no choice but to visit other states.

Online casino gambling is illegal in Utah. There is no avenue for online gambling companies to obtain a licence and set up shop in the Beehive State. Utahns can still access these sites and play online casino slots and other such games, but if caught, players face prosecution.

Poker

Poker gambling is illegal in Utah, with the state very much against allowing any form of poker gameplay within its borders. Even home-based poker games are illegal, whether rake or fees are charged or not. As a result, there are no poker rooms or clubs in Utah, with fans of the game left to visit out-of-state casinos if they want to play.

Online poker gambling is illegal in Utah. No popular online poker sites can offer their games to Utahns, but many still do. It should be noted that players who are caught engaging in online poker gameplay face class B or class A misdemeanour charges.

Bingo

Bingo gambling is legal in Utah, but only under strictly controlled conditions. There are no bingo halls or clubs, whether charitable or commercial. There are reports that a restaurant in Salt Lake City offered bingo cards to customers to boost business, but the police raided the location and shut it down. The restaurant owner and the authorities eventually agreed that this type of operation would be tolerated, but only if customers had the option not to play the bingo cards. In most cases, businesses avoid this minefield altogether.

Online bingo gambling is illegal in Utah, like almost all other forms of gambling. There are no Utah-licensed bingo casinos online, and offshore sites are not permitted to serve residents of Utah. Players of online bingo games face stiff prosecution if caught.

Lotteries

Lottery gambling is illegal in Utah, with the state being one of only a few that doesn't run its lottery. The law is the same for online lottery gambling, with the sale of lottery tickets online deemed illegal. Numerous foreign lottery sites allow members to play online games for real money, including those in Utah. Still, those caught can face hefty class B and class A misdemeanour charges.

Social casinos that offer casino games using only play chips are permitted in Utah, as are sweepstakes. However, real money home-based games of poker are illegal in the state. There has yet to be a definitive decision made on more modern forms of gambling, such as loot boxes and skins gambling, but these may very well be classed as illegal gambling activities under the state's current strict laws.

Regarding cryptocurrencies, Utah recently amended its laws to encourage businesses to set up shop in the state, recognizing that coins such as Bitcoin have value. However, neither Bitcoin nor altcoins are recognized as legal tender in the state. Even if they were, crypto gambling still wouldn't be an option due to the state's strict prohibition of gambling activities. Utah residents wishing to play games with cryptocurrencies may access crypto casinos online, although they may be charged if caught.

カジノシークレット やばい

Sports betting and parimutuel betting on horse and dog racing are illegal in Utah, and the law applies to offline and online activities. None of the big sportsbooks, such as TwinSpires, are allowed to take bets from residents of the state, and while there are several horse racing tracks in Utah, none of them are legally allowed to offer betting on the races.

Daily fantasy sports betting occupies a bit of a grey area regarding Utah's gambling laws, with the authorities yet addressing the activity. Residents can access top DFS sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, with such activities tolerated. However, the situation is subject to change. Poker is often claimed to be a game of skill rather than chance, but Utah authorities have dismissed the argument to legalise the game on that basis. Similarly, the issue of whether or not daily fantasy sports betting involves skill or not is unlikely to have any bearing on its legality.

The legal gambling age in Utah is 18, with those of this age or over allowed to play daily fantasy sports or bingo games.

Tax Regulation

Utah gambling tax regulation doesn't exist due to the state's almost complete ban on all forms of gambling. If you gamble out of state, you may be subject to other states' gambling tax regulations, and the federal level 24% withholding tax will still apply.

The Mormon influence in Utah means real money gambling has always been illegal. Only one exception: In 1925, parimutuel betting on horse racing was legalized. However, the move caused such public outrage that the new law was repealed in 1927.

In 1988, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was passed by the federal government, which opened the door to the operation of casinos by Utah's 8 recognized Native American tribes. However, the state government refused to sign compacts with the tribes.
