What's legal in each ACC state

Eleven states, very different answers. Novig, a federally regulated prediction market, is available in all eleven. Each page says what else is, and is not.

Texas

No sportsbook

Texas has no legal online or retail sportsbook, and the Legislature does not meet again in regular session until January 2027.

Georgia has no legal sports betting of any kind; the state House voted down a constitutional amendment 63-98 in March 2026.

South Carolina has no legal sports betting; the 2025-26 session ended with the main bill still sitting in a Senate committee.

California has no legal sports betting; voters rejected both 2022 ballot measures, and the state's gaming tribes are aiming at 2028.

Florida has legal online sports betting through a single app, Hard Rock Bet, under the Seminole Tribe's 2021 compact; no other sportsbook can operate in the state.

North Carolina has had legal online sports betting since March 11, 2024, with seven licensed apps, and a July 2026 law also recognizes federally regulated prediction markets.
