No state has offered legal sports betting for longer than Nevada. And despite an archaic in-person registration requirement for mobile-wagering accounts, it would be foolhardy to bet against Nevada continuing its reign as the nation's top destination for gambling of all types.

No state has offered legal sports betting – bet it of the retail or mobile variety – for longer than Nevada. In fact, for nearly 70 years, the Silver State had a domestic monopoly on that particular form of gaming.
Since sports betting began spreading to other states in 2018, Nevada has remained a national powerhouse, in large part because of its peerless array of brick-and-mortar sportsbooks and the tourists they attract for major events like the Super Bowl and March Madness. But while the state's sportsbooks handle a very respectable amount of online action, they are undoubtedly hampered by the state's archaic requirement that bettors sign up for mobile-wagering accounts in person.
Despite any shortcomings, it would be foolhardy to bet against Nevada continuing its reign as the nation's top destination for gambling of all types. The house always wins, after all, and no houses have stood intact for longer than Nevada's.
Current Sportsbooks
12It's unlikely that people outside of Nevada will recognize most of the state's mobile betting apps. There are about a dozen of them, and most are local platforms like B-Connected Sports, STN Sports, and Wynn Sports. There are, however, two major national players – BetMGM and Caesars – that offer mobile wagering in a state where both bigwigs boast numerous retail sports betting counters.
The same goes for William Hill, which is fully owned by Caesars but functions as a standalone brand in Nevada. Among the best-known Vegas sportsbooks with betting apps are the Westgate SuperBook and Circa, the latter of which offers mobile wagering in Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, and Nevada.
