There is no legal online or mobile sports betting in Nebraska right now. When legal online sports betting in Nebraska launches, we will be sure to let you know about it. 

There have been recent efforts by Nebraska politicians to introduce bills that would legalize online and mobile sports betting in the state, but as of this time in writing, there is no launch date for their launches. 

For Nebraska sports bettors, they are surely hoping that legal online and mobile sports betting come sooner rather than later, but as of right now, there is no news on that front.

Potential Nebraska Sports Betting Sites

As of now, online sports betting is not available in Nebraska. However, if it becomes legal in the state, top sportsbooks are expected to launch and offer attractive online sports betting promos. Here are some of the top potential Nebraska sports betting sites:

Expected Top Sportsbook Expected Welcome Bonus
BetMGM $1,500 First Bet Bonus
Caesars $1,000 First Bet Bonus
ESPN BET $1,000 in Bonuses
DraftKings Bet $5, Get $150 in Bonuses
FanDuel Bet $5, Get $150 in Bonuses
Fanatics $1,000 in No Sweat Bets

Currently, you can legally bet on sports in Nebraska at four physical retail locations: 

  • WarHorse Casino in Lincoln
  • WarHorse Casino in Omaha
  • The Grand Island Casino Resort in Grand Island
  • Caesars Sportsbook at Harrah’s Racing and Casino in Columbus. 

You can bet on all of your favorite sports, including the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, tennis, soccer, golf, auto racing, and more. Also, you can bet on college sports in Nebraska, but keep in mind you cannot bet on in-state college teams.

Daily Fantasy Sports Betting in Nebraska

Daily Fantasy Sports lacks formal regulation in the state; for over a decade, players have been able to place bets on DFS without any issue. 

However, we recommend signing up with renowned DFS sites like DraftKings DFS or FanDuel DFS committed to protecting your information, payouts, and funds.

Horse Racing Betting in Nebraska

Horse racing betting is legal in Nebraska. There is simulcast betting at Fonner Park, Horsemen’s Park, and Legacy Downs. Alternatively, players can also bet online or via a horse racing betting app.

There are six horse racing tracks in Nebraska:

  • Atokad Park in South Sioux City
  • Fairplay Park in Hastings Columbus
  • Exposition & Racing in Columbus
  • Fonner Park in Grand Island
  • Horsemen’s Park in Omaha
  • Legacy Downs in Lincoln at WarHorse Casino

Sports to Bet on in Nebraska

There are no professional sports teams in the major leagues in Nebraska right now. However, there have been rumors that the NHL could potentially bring a hockey team to Omaha. The NHL seems unlikely to expand anytime soon, but Ohama could be on the shortlist for expansion.

While there are no professional sports teams based in Nebraska, college sports are very popular. The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers is the most popular college sports team, featuring Division I squads in NCAAF and NCAAB, among others. The Creighton Bluejays and the Omaha Mavericks are also Division I colleges with teams in basketball, among others.

Unfortunately, you cannot bet on in-state college sports teams in Nebraska, meaning betting on the Cornhuskers, BlueJays, and Mavericks is off-limits at this time, although there have been talks about this changing in the future. However, you can bet on out-of-state college teams.

Still, you can bet on other sports teams in Nebraska at retail betting outlets, including popular teams in nearby states such as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos in the NFL.
