The legality of poker in Montana changed with the state\u2019s political climate. It went from illegal to legal and back again a few times before it was finally permitted in the 1980s. Nowadays, Montana is the only Wild West state where you can also partake in casino-style games in bars (outside of actual casinos).<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the legality of online poker in MT is murky, despite the game\u2019s decades-long presence in the state. Big Sky Country residents still have access to offshore poker sites, which means they can participate in tournaments such as Omaha and Texas Hold\u2018em. Now let\u2019s look at some of the trustworthy poker rooms that Montanans can play in safely.<\/p>\n

<\/i> Are Online Poker Apps Legal in Montana?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sports betting, lotteries, horse racing, video gambling, and poker (played for charity, on Native lands, and in licensed establishments) are all legal forms of gambling in MT. Nevertheless, poker apps are still outlawed.<\/p>\n

Section 9 of the Constitution defines illegal gambling as \u201cany form of gambling, lotteries, or gift enterprises\u201d not authorized by a referendum or legislation.<\/p>\n

According to Section 23-5-112 (23) (a) of MCA, internet gambling \u201cincludes but is not limited to the conduct of any legal or illegal gambling enterprise through the use of communications technology\u201d that allows a player to place a bet.<\/p>\n

This 2005 Legislature only mentions running an online gambling business within Montana\u2019s borders, not playing on an international site from a Montana IP address. Currently, there are no specific laws stopping Montanans from creating accounts at offshore poker rooms. Online poker sites are regulated by their respective jurisdictions, not by the Montana Constitution or federal law. Therefore, you can\u2019t break laws that don\u2019t exist. Even if they did, they would likely target business owners rather than players.<\/p>\n

<\/i> How to Download Poker Apps in Montana<\/span><\/h2>\n

You will need to download the operator\u2019s client if the poker site of your choice isn\u2019t mobile-ready. In most cases, however, your browser should do the trick. The only thing you need is a stable internet connection. Those on mobile data plans must watch their data usage, as both apps and data options eat up a lot of bandwidth. If you\u2019re unsure whether you have enough data, switch to Wi-Fi (if possible).<\/p>\n
