Fox Bet is not available in Minnesota and the make up of the Gopher State might make it difficult for this website to set up here. In the meantime, access to betting on the Super Bowl, March Madness and those beloved Vikings is available via websites the likes of Jazz Sports, which offers a generous welcome bonus (max bonus $1000).
Minnesota's gaming is more heavily controlled by the tribes compared to some states.
A bill is expected to be filed calling for retail-only and on-site registration, but those of us here at Gambling911.com doubt this will get very far. The tribes are very protective of their gaming industry. They are adament: No off reservation gaming. This means no mobile.
In 2019 they wrote a letter to the governor emphasizing: “The Minnesota Indian Gaming Association continues to oppose the expansion of off-reservation gambling, including the legalization of sports betting.”
The bill's sponsors - Sen. Karla Bigham (DFL), and Rep. Pat Garofalo (R) - may be looking to appease the tribes by prohibiting mobile the first year. That won't cut it.
For now Jazz Sports and others are here to fill the void. Jazz is licensed in Latin America's oldest democracy of Costa Rica, runs land-based casinos there and has been in business since 1994.
