Online gambling in Hawaii: what is legal
Hawaii is one of the few states with no legal commercial gambling and no state lottery, so it has no gambling regulator. Online casino games, online poker and sports betting are not legal. Lawmakers debated online sports betting in 2025 and 2026, but HB 1308 and the other 2026 bills died without a final agreement. No specific state law bans or licenses sweepstakes casinos.
