Sports betting apps in Indiana
Mobile sports betting has been legal in Indiana for years and is regulated by the Indiana Gaming Commission. Each app partners with an Indiana casino, and the big names, including FanDuel, bet365, Fanatics, BetMGM and Caesars, operate in the state. You must be 21. These apps offer sports betting only, no casino games.
Offshore casino apps
Casino apps that accept Indiana players are run by companies based outside the US. They have no US license, so there is no state regulator to turn to if a withdrawal is delayed or an account is closed. We don’t make claims about whether playing at these apps is legal for you. Check the terms, start small and only play with money you can afford to lose. For the bigger picture, see our guide to US gambling legislation.
Casino apps in Indiana by game type
Slot apps
Slots are the biggest category in every casino app. Indiana players find them in offshore casino apps and in free slot apps from the App Store and Google Play that don’t pay out. Most offshore casinos are not in the official stores, so you play in the mobile browser or add the site to your home screen. Browse our slot machine apps for reviews of individual games on mobile.
Poker apps
There is no regulated online poker in Indiana. Live poker is available at several casinos. Online, Indiana players find real-money poker only in offshore apps, or play for fun in free apps such as Zynga Poker. Compare options in our overview of poker apps.
Table game apps
Blackjack, roulette and baccarat are available in offshore apps, often with live dealer tables streamed to your phone. Live tables use more data and battery than digital versions, so Wi-Fi is the better choice for longer sessions. See our blackjack apps for mobile tips.
Sweepstakes casino apps in Indiana
Indiana banned sweepstakes casinos on 1 July. The Indiana Gaming Commission can fine operators that run online sweepstakes games up to $100,000. Most brands closed Sweeps Coins play for Indiana before the deadline, and many let players redeem their remaining balance first. Free social casino apps without cash prizes remain legal.
Our guide to sweepstakes casino apps explains how Gold Coins, Sweeps Coins and redemptions work.
Social casino apps
Free social casino apps from the App Store and Google Play are legal in Indiana, as long as you can’t win money or prizes. You play slots, poker or bingo with virtual coins and can buy extra coins in the app. They are a good way to learn a game, but in-app purchases add up quickly, so set a spending limit in your Apple or Google account.
Deposits and withdrawals on mobile
- Offshore casino apps: cryptocurrency is the most common method and usually the fastest for withdrawals. US banks often decline card payments to offshore gambling sites. Expect an ID check before your first withdrawal.
- Licensed sportsbooks: regulated sportsbooks use mainstream payment methods such as cards, PayPal and online banking, with state oversight.
On your phone, use biometric login if the app offers it, avoid public Wi-Fi for payments and never install casino APK files from unknown sources.
How to check a casino app before you play
- License: find out who licenses the operator and whether that regulator handles complaints.
- Your state: check that the app accepts players from Indiana; several brands exclude specific states.
- Withdrawal terms: minimums, maximums, processing times and bonus wagering.
- Download source: only install apps from the App Store, Google Play or the operator’s own site.
- Responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion.
