Utah bans all gambling, including sports betting, and participating is a class B misdemeanor — class A on a repeat offense. The Utah Constitution bars the legislature from authorizing any game of chance, and statute mandates opting out of any federal online-gambling framework. Participating in gambling includes online gambling (Utah Code 76-9-1402).
