Online gambling in Texas remains largely illegal, as the state has strict laws prohibiting most forms of gambling. While some forms of online betting, such as daily fantasy sports, are permitted, traditional online casinos and poker sites are not authorized. Efforts to legalize online gambling have been proposed, but as of now, residents must seek alternatives, such as offshore sites, which come with legal and financial risks. Texans interested in gambling should stay informed about potential legislative changes that could impact the legality of online gaming in the future.
