Most states are open to the operators measured here. The exclusions are narrow but real, and they are inconsistent: two operators can reach opposite conclusions about the same state.

Excluded almost everywhere

Washington and Idaho, whose promotional statutes are strict enough that operators in this market generally decline players from either.

Excluded by some

Michigan, Nevada, Montana and Connecticut appear on certain exclusion lists and not others, usually as a compliance decision.

Age

Eighteen at most operators, twenty-one at some, twenty-one in specific states at others. It is checked against documents, so a false date at signup only blocks a payout later.

Presence, not paperwork

Operators verify where you actually are. VPNs and out-of-state addresses breach the terms, and that usually surfaces at redemption, after the balance is built.
