The minimum age to place sports bets in New Hampshire is 18. The Granite State’s sports betting minimum age, however, could increase to 21 if HB-83 makes it into law.
HB-83 is sponsored by House Members Sallie Fellows (D) and Michael Cahill (D). The effort to boost the sports betting minimum age to 21 also has the support of senators Ruth Ward (R) and Suzanne Prentiss (D).
The bill is scheduled to go to New Hampshire’s House Ways and Means Committee on Jan. 8.
New Hampshire is in the minority when it comes to the sports betting age limit. Currently, only seven states and Washington D.C. allow 18-year-olds to legally place sports bets.
