Yes, prediction markets are available in Mississippi. As of October 18, 2026, we found no Mississippi Gaming Commission, Attorney General or court action against Kalshi, Polymarket US, Novig or PredictIt.

Mississippi’s position

Mississippi allows sports betting only on licensed casino floors. The Mississippi Gaming Commission says sports wagering “not conducted in a casino is illegal (online and mobile sports wagering apps are illegal).” A 2026 bill to allow mobile betting, HB 4074, passed the House 100–11 but stalled in the Senate, per the Magnolia Tribune.

Attorney General Lynn Fitch joined a 2026 multistate comment letter urging the CFTC to leave sports event contracts to the states, and signed the October 2026 states’ brief at the US Supreme Court. We found no Mississippi enforcement, and Pew Research Center’s June 2026 tracker shows no Mississippi prediction-market bill. See is Kalshi legal?

What’s available

Kalshi, Polymarket US, Novig, PredictIt and Robinhood are available in Mississippi; Novig says it’s “available nationwide, except in Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan.” FanDuel’s Predicts offer terms don’t list Mississippi among its sports-contract states. Compare every state in our legality tracker.
