Online casinos in Minnesota: what the law says
Minnesota has no legal online casino, online poker or sports betting.
No licensed online casino in Minnesota
Minnesota's regulator lists online casinos as not legal. No authorized sports betting of any kind, retail or online. The Department of Public Safety Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division lists the state's legal gambling as charitable gambling, the Minnesota Lottery, pari-mutuel horse racing, card rooms and tribal Class III casino games, and lists sports betting among the illegal activities it criminally investigates. Tribal Class III gaming runs under 22 tribal-state compacts with 11 Tribal Nations covering 20 casinos; per DPS the Class III games permitted under those compacts are blackjack and video games of chance, and the compacts have no expiration date (https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/age/gambling/tribal-state-gaming-compacts). Any legalisation therefore has to be negotiated around tribal exclusivity, which is the fault line the bills below keep failing on. Bills carry over within the 94th Legislature (2025-2026 biennium). No online casino / iGaming bill exists at all: exact-phrase searches of bill text on revisor.mn.gov for 'online casino', 'internet casino', 'internet gaming', 'interactive gaming' and 'iGaming' return no House or Senate documents. Minnesota does not record a 'died in committee' status, so a bill's status is simply its last recorded action.

Each one's own restricted-states list does not name Minnesota. Sweepstakes casinos run on free coins with prizes redeemable for cash, which is how they operate where online casinos are not legal — the law tile above says whether Minnesota allows them.
