Although it is not yet legal in all US states, up to seven states now offer online lotteries, allowing millions of players to access lottery games from their computers and phones. <\/p>

While this is a welcome development, keeping up with what and where you can play can be a little difficult. Each state has its own unique set of laws and each lottery platform differs in terms of the games, bonuses and other features they offer. <\/p>

In this article, we’ll list some of the best online lotteries<\/strong> and provide a comprehensive guide on how to select the best lottery sites<\/strong> for you. Read on for our guide to choosing the best online lotteries in the United States.<\/p>

Is online lottery legal in the USA?<\/strong><\/h2>

People have been playing lotteries in the United States since the 1700s, even before the US became an independent country. While there were already hundreds of lotteries in the US since the 18th century, there was no official state-wide lottery until 1934 when Puerto Rico became the first US territory to fully legalize lottery games. It would take another 30 years before the lottery was officially sanctioned by a US state with New Hampshire legalizing lottery games in 1964.<\/p>

Today, 44 US states and three territories run a state-wide lottery. While the lottery remains illegal in six states (Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, and Utah). The country does not currently run a federal lottery. Instead, each state and territory offers their own unique instant win-and-draw games. All the states with legalized lotteries (except Puerto Rico) also participate in Powerball and Mega Million lotteries, which are the closest thing to a national lottery that players can get. <\/p>

While physical lotteries started receiving attention in the 20th century, it would take several more decades before online lotteries became acceptable in the US. This was due to the 1961 Wire Act which outlawed all electronic transactions related to gambling. However, in 2011 the US Department of Justice clarified its position on the Wire Act and applied it to sports betting alone. This new perspective opened the doors for many states to introduce online lottery for players. <\/p>

Online lottery is still not available everywhere, but the number of jurisdictions offering state-run iLottery<\/strong> options keeps growing. Some states run their own platforms directly, while others use approved third-party providers for certain products.<\/p>

Here are the jurisdictions to know right now if you’re looking for legal, state-linked iLottery options:<\/p>
