Betr is not like every other sports betting company. It gives players a new way to enjoy betting through two main games Betr Picks and Group Play (Peer-to-Peer). But since each U.S. state has different gambling laws, many people are asking: Where is Betr legal in 2025?
This article will give you an easy-to-understand guide on what Betr offers, where you can use it, and how the laws affect where you can play.
What Is Betr and How Is It Different?
When Betr first launched, it focused on microbetting, where players could bet on small moments in live sports games. Since then, it has added fantasy pick’em games, which are legal in more places.
There are two main ways to play on Betr:
- Betr Picks: A daily fantasy game where you guess how well a player will do or what will happen in a game.
- Group Play (Peer-to-Peer): You compete against friends or other players instead of the house.
The best part? These games are not considered traditional sports betting in most states. That’s why they’re allowed in more places.
Betr Legal States List (Updated for 2025)
As of now, Betr Picks and Group Play are allowed in over 30 U.S. states. Some states only allow Group Play, depending on how strict their laws are. But overall, Betr has a much wider reach than many sportsbooks.
Here’s a full list of U.S. states where you can legally play Betr in some form:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
Important Note:
In some of these states (like Arizona, Colorado, and Arkansas), only the Group Play mode is allowed, not the full Betr Picks fantasy option.
Why Does It Vary by State?
Each state in the U.S. has its own gambling rules. Some are more relaxed and allow full sportsbooks. Others are strict and only allow fantasy sports or peer-to-peer games. This is why Betr has to adjust its offerings based on where the player lives.
To follow the law:
- Betr uses location tracking (geo-restriction) to check where you’re playing from.
- The app will automatically show you what you can and cannot play based on your location.
If you’re ever unsure, the app will guide you.
Will Betr Be Legal in More States Soon?
Betr is working hard to expand into new states. Since they offer fantasy-style games rather than full betting, they can launch in places that don’t yet allow sportsbooks.
However, some big states like New York and Nevada are still not open to Betr. These states have tougher rules, but things may change in the future. As laws update and more states open up, Betr is expected to grow even more.
