Wyoming recently legalized sports betting, allowing three sportsbooks to operate in-state. These include DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM. Caesars is now available as well. These books were mostly cutting back on their welcome bonuses. Bovada operates outside the Cowboy State but is still accessible. Their website is browser-based and their bonus is $750. Our friends at BetUS (now celebrating their 28th year in business) offer one of the best bonuses at 125% up to up to $2,500.

Neither Bovada or BetUS report taxes to the government and both offer mostly anonymous wagering for those 18 and up. Live in-play wagering and tons of player props are available at BetUS. Both sites offer an online casino. BetUS features a LIVE DEALER online casino with a Spin to Win $10K prize.

Wyoming in-state apps officially launched online sports betting on September 2021 and also allow those 18+ to place bets, one of the few states that permits individuals under the age of 21. While the apps are nice, there are some drawbacks, the main one being the reported tax. It's important to report your taxes but in the case of Wyoming-based apps, they will do so for you.

DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and Caesars issue 1099 forms to you and the IRS for net profits of $600 or more. Bovada and BetUS do not report winnings.

As for your beloved Cowboys, Wyoming got hit hard with the exodus of players heading into 2022. They were favored to win fewer than 5 regular season games.
