North Dakota’s position
North Dakota has no commercial or mobile sports betting. Lawmakers rejected a 2025 constitutional amendment to allow it (HCR 3002, defeated 24–70 in the House on January 22, 2025), and per Tribal Gaming & Hospitality the state’s tribes are “the only lawful providers of sports wagering in the state,” in person at their casinos.
North Dakota is one of the few states that has stayed out of the fight: it didn’t sign the April 2026 attorneys general letter to the CFTC or the October 2026 states’ brief at the US Supreme Court. See is Kalshi legal?
