Before you play
How we check state sources
We make the source, location and limits clear, so you can understand what you are looking at.
How we workCheck the source
Official records, visible dates
See where a fact came from and when it was checked.
Keep it local
The right rules for your location
Check the exact state and operating model. A state license is local, and a sweepstakes or social casino is a different model.
Know the difference
A demo is a demo
Virtual credits are not cash, and a demo is not a bonus.
What states allow online gambling?
Online gambling is legal state by state, product by product. Our records currently cover real-money online casinos in Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia; sports betting and poker have their own state lists. The U.S. casino directory brings together state-regulated real-money casino records and a separate sweepstakes/social section. Use the state and model filters to find records supported for your location. Each brand has an official destination, an individual review, primary sources and a verification date.
State-regulated online casinos
Our casino records cover Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. The same brand can have different product, company and website records in different states. A state license applies to its named jurisdiction and product; account and physical-location checks still apply.
Sweepstakes and social casinos
These platforms use a different operating model. Read the current official rules for age, excluded states, virtual currencies, free participation and any prize-redemption conditions. A sweepstakes or social listing is not a state gaming license, and a familiar casino-style game does not establish eligibility.
Free casino games and free slots
Browse free casino games, search by title or studio, and open a demo in the player on the same page. Most-played titles appear first. Demo credits have no cash value, and the library is separate from promotional free spins or a redeemable-prize offer.
MLS scores in Eastern Time
The live score board prioritizes MLS, the U.S. Open Cup and the NWSL and shows international fixtures too. Open an event for team and league logos, the score, timeline, lineups and statistics where coverage supplies them. Dates and kickoff times use Eastern Time.
Frequently asked questions
What states allow online gambling?
Online gambling in the US is legal state by state and product by product. Real-money online casino records currently cover Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia, while sports betting and poker have their own state lists. Use the state and model filters to find records supported for your location.
Does an online casino license in one state apply in other US states?
No. A US state license applies only to its named jurisdiction and product, and account and physical-location checks still apply. The same brand can have different product, company and website records in different states, so check the record for the state you are in before you play.
Are sweepstakes casinos the same as licensed online casinos in the US?
No. A sweepstakes or social casino listing in the US is not a state gaming license, and these platforms use a different operating model. Read the current official rules for age, excluded states, virtual currencies, free participation and any prize-redemption conditions. A familiar casino-style game does not establish that you are eligible to play.
Where can I check MLS scores in Eastern Time?
The US live score board shows MLS scores with dates and kickoff times in Eastern Time. It prioritizes MLS, the U.S. Open Cup and the NWSL and shows international fixtures too. Open an event for team and league logos, the score, timeline, lineups and statistics where coverage supplies them.
Is CasinoPlanet a casino?
No. CasinoPlanet is a guide to gambling rules, licensed operators and free demo games. There is no CasinoPlanet account, login or app, and we do not take deposits, offer bonuses or pay out winnings. For a question about an account, a bonus or a withdrawal, contact the operator you play with directly.
Source checks you can inspect
Read the editorial policy for our inclusion rules. Directory order is alphabetical within each model. A listing is a source-checked record, not an account, deposit or withdrawal test. Before you play, check what your state allows for online gambling in the matching directory.
