As of my last update in early 2023, sports betting in South Carolina was not legal. The state had not passed any legislation to allow for legal sports betting, either through in-person locations or online platforms.
However, the situation with gambling laws can change rapidly, so it’s important to check the most current information from a reliable source or official state channels before engaging in any form of sports betting in South Carolina or any other location.
States in the U.S. have been increasingly legalizing sports betting since the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in 2018, which opened the door for states to regulate sports betting on their own. If South Carolina were to consider legalizing sports betting, it would likely require a change in state law, which could be subject to legislative and sometimes voter approval.
