At the end of 2021, fuboTV subsidiary Fubo Gaming officially launched their version of a sports betting platform, Fubo Sportsbook. It’s exciting news for sports fans as this integrative platform will allow you to get betting information and make sports bets on fuboTV while you’re watching the live stream of a game. As it is still a new platform, you might be wondering what states allow sports betting on fuboTV at present.
What states allow sports betting on fuboTV?
Fubo Sportsbook was launched at the end of 2021, and it started with sports betting in two states: Iowa and Arizona. If you live in one of those two states, you’re in luck. You can start betting on Fubo Sportsbook as early as today.
Here’s the catch, though: you can only place bets when you are geographically located in either Arizona or Iowa. When you first sign up for Fubo Sportsbook, you’ll be asked to share your location and to allow the app to track you. You can’t place bets if you don’t allow this. That’s because even if you’re from Arizona, for example, and sign up for Fubo Sportsbook there, it’s still illegal for you to place bets in, say, Massachusetts. So if you move out of state or go on a vacation, keep this in mind.
When will Fubo Sportsbook expand to other states?
According to their website, fuboTV “look(s) forward to launching in more states in the coming months, pending regulatory approvals.” Deals are currently in the works for the following states:
- Indiana
- Louisiana
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- New Jersey
- Ohio
- Pennsylvania
- Texas
Gambling and betting laws are complicated because they’re set at the federal level. fuboTV has to negotiate a deal which each state individually, which will take time. Unfortunately, there is no specific timeline for folks who live outside of Arizona and Iowa (and these additional eight states) to look forward to… yet.
The good news is that even if you’re not a lucky resident of either Arizona or Iowa, you can still download Fubo Sportsbook and partake in the fun. Sure, you can’t place bets, but you can at least observe the app and use the TV Sync feature if you have a fuboTV subscription.

What sports channels are available on fuboTV?Â
One of the unique features of Fubo Sportsbook is that it offers TV live sync with fuboTV. The TV Sync feature creates a truly interactive experience. If you switch from streaming a basketball game on fuboTV to a soccer game, for example, your Fubo Sportsbook app will automatically show you the bets you can place for the game you’re currently watching.
So, if you want to make the most of the Fubo Sportsbook experience when it does become live in your state, you’ll need a fuboTV subscription. Subscriptions start at $64.99/month for the Starter package, which includes 118+ channels. Here are some of the highlights for sports fans:
