About this site

Active Casinos is an independent editorial record of the United States casino market. It tracks which land-based properties and online platforms are active, which states regulate real-money online casino play, and how that map changes over time.

What the board covers

The site is organized around a state-by-state index. For each state it records the shape of the land-based market — commercial, tribal, racino, or cardroom — and the legal status of online casino play. Alongside the index sit editorial guides on the topics that come up most: the sweepstakes-casino model, payout reporting in regulated states, new market entries, and player safety.

How statuses are compiled

Entries are drawn from state gaming commission filings, license registers, and public operator announcements, then summarized in plain language. Every status is date-anchored — when a page says a market is open or closed, it says as of when. Where the legal picture is unsettled, the entry describes the dispute instead of rounding it to a clean answer.

What this site is not

Active Casinos is not a casino, does not take wagers, and does not process payments. It holds no ownership stake in any operator it covers. Nothing on this site is legal advice; state law changes, and readers should confirm the current rules in their own jurisdiction before playing.
