Nebraska Retail Sportsbooks

---

There are five legal sportsbooks in Nebraska — four at racinos and Lake Mac in Ogallala. All are retail-only and regulated by the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission. Pick a venue for the full breakdown.

• WarHorse Casino Lincoln

  WarHorse Casino Lincoln made history in June 2023 when it accepted Nebraska's first legal sports wager. Operated by WarHorse Gaming and located adjacent to the Lincoln Race Course, it is the original flagship of the Nebraska retail market — though Q1 2026 NRGC data shows the WarHorse Omaha property has now overtaken Lincoln on monthly sports-betting GGR.

• Lake Mac Casino & Resort

  Lake Mac Casino & Resort in Ogallala is the fifth and smallest of Nebraska's legal sports-betting venues, and the only one in the western half of the state. Sports betting at Lake Mac is a small fraction of total handle — under $10,000 GGR per month according to NRGC reports — but it remains the closest legal book for Panhandle and western Nebraska bettors.
