Short answer

Nevada regulates gambling through the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission. Online, interactive gaming is limited to poker, offered intrastate and through the multi-state poker compact. Mobile sports betting is offered only by land-based licensees. Online casino is not legal. Suppliers, manufacturers and service providers need Nevada licensing, which is known for rigorous suitability investigations.

Nevada is the home of US land-based gaming, but its online market is narrow. This page replaces our earlier Nevada guide.
