The legal sports betting age is 21 in Nevada. If you’re under 21 and try to sign up for a sportsbook in Nevada, you won’t be able to register. The reason for a legal sports betting age of 21 is that younger people are more susceptible to problem gambling, according to sports betting addiction statistics. Nearly every sports betting state has a legal age of 21.

Sports betting apps have age verification tools to block underage users. You also need to be 21 to enter a casino in Nevada, which is required to sign up for a mobile sportsbook in the state.

While Nevada didn’t have any professional sports teams for many years, it now has several pro sports franchises to wager on.

• Vegas Golden Knights

The first professional team to enter Nevada, the Golden Knights were founded as an NHL expansion team in 2017. The Golden Knights enjoyed immediate success, reaching the Stanley Cup Finals in their first year of existence and making the playoffs in their first four seasons.

Vegas won its first championship in 2023, beating the Florida Panthers in five games.

• Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders relocated from Oakland in 2020, giving Nevada an NFL team. They were one of the league’s best franchises during the 1970s and 1980s, winning three Super Bowls. They’ve mostly struggled over the past two decades, however, with zero playoff wins since their most recent Super Bowl appearance during the 2002 season.

• Las Vegas Aces

While the Knights were the first pro sports team to represent Las Vegas, the Aces were the city’s first champions. They relocated from San Antonio in 2018 and quickly turned things around, winning back-to-back WNBA Finals in 2022 and 2023 under head coach Becky Hammon.

It is also legal to bet on in-state and out-of-state college teams in Nevada, which has several notable programs.

• Nevada Wolf Pack

Based at the University of Nevada, Reno, the Wolf Pack compete in the Mountain West Conference. Their football team has won 14 conference championships and played in 19 bowl games, winning seven of them. They’ve played in Division I since 1992.

The Wolf Pack have also made 11 Division I NCAA Tournament appearances on the hardwood, reaching the Sweet 16 twice. They’ve also won 23 regular-season conference championships and five conference tournament championships, winning the CBI title in 2016 against Morehead State.

• UNLV Rebels

The Rebels fielded their first football team in 1968 and eventually moved to Division I in 1978. They moved to the Mountain West Conference in 1999, are 2-2 in bowl games and won their first conference title in 2024.

The Runnin’ Rebels were one of the best basketball teams in the nation in the 1980s, making nine straight NCAA Tournaments from 1983 to 1991 and reaching the Final Four three times during that span. They eventually reached the mountaintop in 1990 when they crushed Duke 103-73 in the National Championship Game – the most lopsided victory in National Championship history.
