Gambling legislation in the United States of America is a "mixed bag of nuts". The laws change significantly from state to state. But, on this page, we are going to focus on the gambling law in Utah.
Together with Hawaii, Utah is the strictest state in the country regarding gambling regulations and legislation. This stems from a very big Mormon population whose religion has no tolerance for gambling activities.
Currently, no forms of betting are practised or even legalised in the state, with no provisions made for charitable gaming like Lottery or Bingo.

Overview of Gambling in Utah
The popularity of online gambling is increasing in the US, with massive demand from residents. Mobile betting is now one of the most popular ways to place sportsbook bets, and this trend isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Many states in the US are slowly opening their doors to online gambling, with sports betting taking precedence over online casinos.
Whilst Utah isn't considered part of the bible belt; it is one of the most religious states in the US. Historically it has always had a very conservative view on gambling, but will this change in the future?

Is Online Gambling Legal in Utah?
There are zero forms of gambling allowed in Utah, and this is due to the state's Mormon roots. There is little point in residents hoping that this will change anytime soon, either. Players usually head off to Nevada to be able to gamble, and playing poker at home legally is also prohibited.
Pari-mutuel horse race betting was legalised in 1925 and promptly banned in 1927. This is the only time that gambling has been legal in Utah. The state is home to 8 Indian tribes; Utah refused to sign compacts to allow tribal casinos when the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was installed in 1988.
Sports betting is probably never coming to Utah, and the state is also one of 5 that does not have a lottery. Social and sweepstakes casinos are also prohibited, along with charity games such as bingo.
Minimum Legal age to Gamble in Utah
There isn't any legalised gambling in Utah, so there isn't a minimum legal age. It's unlikely that this will change, but if it ever did, the state would probably veer towards the upper age requirements of 21.
Who Regulates Casinos in Utah?
There are no casinos within the beehive state, and we think it would take a miracle for this to change too. Current laws to penalise those who break the law are very strict. Gamblers face being slapped with a Class B misdemeanour, up to 6 months jail time and a fine of up to $1,000. Find below some news about gambling in the US.
