But for online gambling to get legalized, sports betting might have to come first. Casino gambling may be permitted on international cruise ships visiting Alaska. In fact, the state has one of the strictest gambling jurisdictions in the U.S. Online casinos are currently illegal in Alaska. Alabama gamblers may have to wait until after this election year to see any further legislative progress for legal gambling online.
Various bill proposals from State Senator Greg Albritton (R-Atmore) failed to make it through the House in 2022. For online gambling to become legal in Alabama, a constitutional amendment would need to get passed.
Thus, online casinos remain technically illegal in the state. Alabama's state constitution prohibits lotteries and gambling.
