A dated guide to Sporttrade and Wyoming: Sporttrade ran as a state licensed sports wagering exchange, it closed its United States wagering in May 2026, and it has applied to move into the federal event contract framework. Here is what that means for a Wyoming reader, and what is available instead. Information, not advice.

Sporttrade ran as a licensed sports wagering exchange rather than a prediction market, holding state gaming licences and matching buyers and sellers on event prices. On 15 May 2026 it told customers it would close, it ceased all United States wagering on 25 May 2026, and remaining account access was removed by 26 June 2026. It held licences in only five states, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey and Virginia, so most states never had access in the first place.
Sporttrade never held a Wyoming licence. Wyoming authorized online sports wagering in 2021, but Sporttrade was not among the operators there, so residents never had access to the exchange. With Sporttrade now closed to United States wagering and seeking a federal path instead, there is nothing for a Wyoming reader to open today.
As of January 2026, Sporttrade is not available to anyone in Wyoming, and it never operated there. Sporttrade ran as a state licensed sports wagering exchange and held gaming licences in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey and Virginia only. Wyoming authorized online sports wagering in 2021 and regulates it through the Wyoming Gaming Commission, but Sporttrade was not one of the licensed operators, so the exchange was never available to Wyoming residents.
More broadly, Sporttrade has stepped back from sports wagering across the board. The company announced on 15 May 2026 that it would close, ceased all United States wagering on 25 May 2026, and removed remaining account access by 26 June 2026. It has applied to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to return as a federally regulated prediction market exchange, but those applications were pending as of January 2026 and no relaunch date is confirmed.
For a reader in Wyoming, that means there is no Sporttrade account to open today. The Wyoming legality guide sets out which prediction market and event contract venues currently reach Wyoming residents and on what terms. We will revise this page if Sporttrade returns under federal oversight. Whatever venue you consider, an event contract can lose your whole stake, so treat the price as an implied probability, not a prediction.
Sporttrade has closed its United States wagering and is not available, so it does not appear here. Availability is indicative and individual states may restrict specific products. Scores are illustrative editorial examples. Confirm the current position before acting.
No. As of January 2026 Sporttrade is not available in Wyoming. Sporttrade closed its United States sports wagering on 25 May 2026 and removed remaining account access by 26 June 2026. It has applied to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to relaunch as a prediction market exchange, but that application was pending as of January 2026. General information, not legal advice.
Sporttrade announced on 15 May 2026 that it would close its United States wagering, which ended on 25 May 2026. The company said the state by state licensing model was costly and fragmented and that it intends to move into the federal framework used for event contracts. It filed applications with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in February 2026 to return as a prediction market exchange, and those applications were pending as of January 2026.
Sporttrade held state gaming licences in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey and Virginia. New Jersey users lost access on 25 May 2026, while customers in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and Virginia had until 25 June 2026 to withdraw funds before all access was removed on 26 June 2026. Wyoming was not among the licensed states.
Sporttrade told customers that New Jersey access ended on 25 May 2026 and that customers in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and Virginia had until 25 June 2026 to withdraw, after which any remaining balances would be mailed by check to the address on file. If you held a balance, contact Sporttrade directly through its own support channels to confirm your position. This is general information, not legal or financial advice.
We do not tip platforms or promise outcomes. Several federally regulated event contract venues operate across the United States, and the Wyoming legality guide sets out which ones currently reach Wyoming residents and on what terms. Any event contract carries a real risk of losing money, so confirm eligibility and read the terms before funding an account.
Available does not mean low risk. Event contracts can lose you money, and you can lose your whole stake. Stake only what you can afford to lose, never to chase a loss, and never on borrowed money. You must be 18+ or the legal age in your region. In the United States you can call or text the helpline on 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ncpgambling.org.
The position above rests on Sporttrade's own closure notice, reputable reporting from May 2026, and the federal framework it has applied to join. Confirm it yourself before you act, because the rules in this area change.
