About Sports Betting in Oklahoma

If Governor Kevin Stitt and Oklahoma's Indian tribes could get on the same page, it's safe to say the Sooner State would have sports betting by now. On multiple occasions, bills to allow the state's many tribes to exclusively offer sports betting have cleared various levels of the legislature, but Stitt's steadfast insistence that commercial entities get a slice of the pie has torpedoed all efforts.

Term limits prevent Stitt from running for reelection in 2026, meaning that 2027 seems a viable target for the tribes and their legislative allies to redouble efforts to get sports betting passed in Oklahoma, which has a rich gaming environment when it comes to casinos and horse racing.
