Burgum, ND tribes sign gambling compacts

By Pat Sweeney Dec 2, 2022 | 3:09 PM

Gov. Doug Burgum has signed agreements with North Dakota’s American Indian tribes that lower the legal gambling age from 21 to 19 at tribal-owned casinos and allow gamblers on reservations to use credit or debit cards to place bets.

The tribal-state agreements known as compacts also allow online sports betting using mobile devices within reservation boundaries but not outside of them.

Burgum last month rejected a plea by the state’s five tribes to give them exclusive rights to host internet gambling and sports betting outside the reservation because it isn’t allowed under state law.
