Aug 2022 Caesars Sportsbook receives approval and launches in Wyoming
Feb 2026 Wyoming reported $23.3M in sports betting handle for January as legislators debated a proposal to double the tax rate from 10% to 20%
Mar 2026 $28.5M handle (+53.6% MoM), the largest month of Q1 2026, driven by March Madness. DraftKings captured 66.6% of all handle.

Summer 2026

World Cup 2026 from Wyoming


Cheyenne to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City is 9 hours; Casper is 11; Jackson is 14. No 2026 FIFA World Cup matches are within day-trip distance of Wyoming, but the state's 5-book mobile market (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, Fanatics) handles the tournament from home better than most retail-only neighbors. The May 2026 handle of $15M suggests modest local engagement; expect a meaningful tournament-driven spike. HB 299 (the tribal sportsbook expansion bill) was voted down in February, so the operator lineup will look the same through the World Cup and into 2027. DraftKings holds roughly 55% of WY market share; FanDuel is the practical second choice. For the broader multi-book experience, Colorado (18 books) is 9 hours via I-25; tournament-week trips to Denver pay off in line-shopping returns.
