Wyoming Daily Fantasy Sports
Daily fantasy sports apps are legal but unregulated in Wyoming.
Unlike most states that have legalized DFS, Wyoming has not established a regulatory framework covering fantasy sports. That means it’s legal to play fantasy sports online in Wyoming, but players should choose where to play carefully.
Continue below for a detailed discussion of which forms of daily fantasy are legal in Wyoming and the state’s official stance on pick ‘em fantasy apps that offer over/under predictions for fixed payouts.

In addition to clear-cut state laws, the Wyoming Gaming Commission has clarified that daily fantasy sports contests are permitted if they meet certain legal requirements (more on that below).
As a result, the Wyoming fantasy sports market offers fans a wide range of options to play DFS and pick ‘em contests online for real money.
Dozens of fantasy sports brands serve the Wyoming market today, but not all are quality operators. Players should choose wisely because the Wyoming Gaming Commission exercises no regulatory authority over DFS operators.
Below is a selection of BettingUSA’s recommended fantasy sports sites. The following list includes a mix of daily fantasy sports sites and pick ‘em apps that are proven operators.

Pick ‘Em Fantasy Apps in Wyoming
Fantasy pick ‘em contests are legal in Wyoming if they involve players competing against each other rather than against the house.
Initially, the most prominent Wyoming fantasy pick ‘em apps offered player-vs-house contests in which players predicted whether athletes would exceed their projected totals in stats like rushing yards, rebounds, and strikeouts.
In July 2023, the Wyoming Gaming Commission investigated the fantasy pick ‘em model and determined that player-vs-house prediction contests meet the state’s definition of “sports betting.”
The Commission sent cease-and-desist letters to several operators, ordering them to stop offering fantasy pick ‘em contests in Wyoming. The letters explained that pick ‘em contests qualify as online sports betting, which requires licensure in Wyoming.
Daily fantasy sports sites active in Wyoming at the time complied with the order and ceased all pick ‘em contests.
Several major DFS operators regained access to the Wyoming fantasy sports market after developing peer-to-peer variants of their pick ‘em contests and receiving the Commission’s approval.

Wyoming Fantasy Sports Law
Wyoming authorized DFS contests in 2021 when it legalized sports betting via .
The bill dealt primarily with sports betting in Wyoming, so it contained no DFS-specific regulations. As a result, Wyoming law only addresses fantasy sports to a limited extent:
- exempts fantasy sports contests from the state’s definition of “gambling.”
- defines “fantasy sports contests” with UIGEA-compliant language
Wyoming fantasy sports sites operated openly before 2021 without issue, so the bill was more of a formality than anything. Nonetheless, it provided legal clarity to operators and mitigated the risk of local authorities changing their interpretation of the law sometime in the future.
