Is internet gambling legal? No. Internet gambling is illegal under state law. Online sites may advertise they are “legal” and “licensed” forms of gaming. They may be legal or licensed where the bets are received, but it is illegal to place bets from Mississippi with these businesses.

Do you know what all sports you can bet on? Some are:

• In Yacht Racing, the International Sailing Federation sanctioned events
• The Olympics - Approved List to be sent from MS Gaming Commission
• Japan Nippon Professional Baseball and Korean Baseball League

The MS Gaming Commission has a form:

 “REQUEST TO OFFER WAGERS ON EVENT OTHER THAN A HORSE RACE, GREYHOUND RACE, OR ATHLETIC SPORTING EVENT “

What would you like to bet on? I wonder what has been approved and what’s been disallowed!
