Wagering at online casinos, sportsbooks, and poker rooms is, therefore, unlawful. Despite the lack of state-regulated online gambling, Texans can engage in social casinos, which offer a variety of table games and online slots, but without real money involvement.
Residents express dissatisfaction with the limited offerings at these venues. The state provides limited gambling options, with only two brick-and-mortar casinos and a few horse racing tracks available. Texas, famously linked to gambling through Texas hold ’em poker, currently has strict anti-gambling laws that make online gambling illegal.
