What States Is Novig Available In?

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Novig is available nationwide except Arizona, Nevada, Michigan and Ohio. If you're 21 or older and physically located in an eligible state or Washington, D.C., you can trade on Novig — residency isn't required, and eligibility is based on where you are when you trade.

Where is Novig legal?

Novig operates as a CFTC-designated contract market (Ludlow Exchange, LLC, d/b/a Novig) under federal commodities law — not under state-by-state sports betting licenses. That's why it's live in 46 states plus Washington, D.C., unlike most traditional sportsbooks.

Novig is not currently available in:

• Arizona (AZ)
• Nevada (NV)
• Michigan (MI)
• Ohio (OH)

Everywhere else in the United States — including Washington, D.C. — you can sign up and trade.

How eligibility works

• You must be 21 or older.
• Eligibility is based on your physical location at the time you trade — not your billing address, mailing address, or state of residency.
• The app confirms your location automatically, so if you travel to an eligible state, you can trade while you're there.

For the official eligibility rules, see Novig's Eligibility & Legality guide.

What is Novig?

Novig is a peer-to-peer sports prediction market: you trade sports event contracts with other users at market prices instead of betting against a bookmaker's line. There's no vig built into prices, and winning contracts always pay the full $1.00.

Does Novig work when I travel?

Yes. Because eligibility follows your physical location, you can trade whenever you're inside an eligible state — even if you live in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan or Ohio. The reverse is also true: trading is unavailable while you're physically inside an excluded state.
