Total newcomer question so bear with me. My buddy in Pennsylvania plays real money slots on his phone on a fully legal app and keeps telling me to sign up, but I live in Texas and I cannot find a single legit site that will let me deposit.
Every time I try, the geolocation check kicks me out the second it pins my location. I assumed online casino was just legal everywhere in the US by now but apparently I was wrong.
From what I have read, real money online casino is only actually legal in a handful of states and Texas is not one of them. The sweepstakes coin sites seem to be the only thing available to me here.
Can someone lay out which states actually allow legal real money online casino, and whether the sweeps sites are the only real option for the rest of us?
