State law prohibits citizens from betting anything of value 'on the outcome of a contest, game, scheme, or gaming device.'Īs such, the Beehive State doesn't have any sort of legalized gambling, joining Hawaii as the only other state in the country to adopt such a position. Utah long ago decided they don't want any type of gambling within their state borders.
There is currently no legislation permitting online poker in the state.
