Sports betting in South Carolina is not legal and isn’t currently being pursued by state legislators.
There was a bi-partisan effort between the House and Senate to legalize all types of commercial gaming, including sports betting which failed in the committees of both chambers of the government.
Since then, there has been no discussion about sports betting, as gambling is low on the list of priorities for the state government.

NOTE: Online sports betting sites are not currently legal in South Carolina. However, we expect some big names to go live when South Carolina legalizes betting.
- Caesars Sportsbook SC App – Second chance free bets
- BetMGM South Carolina App – Some form of bet insurance
- DraftKings South Carolina App – Some form of deposit match bonus
- FanDuel South Carolina App – Some form of bet insurance
It’s important to note that while certain betting apps and websites claim they can accept sports wagers from across the US, they are not legally licensed to operate in any US state. All legitimate gambling websites in the US are authorized and regulated at the state level.
Betting with these unlicensed websites and mobile apps carries significant risk, as they do not offer consumer protection. If a bettor uses an unlicensed site and encounters issues, such as the sportsbook refusing to pay out winnings or shutting down without returning customer funds, there’s no legal way for the bettor to recover their money.
