How to Bet on UFC Legally: The 4 Rules
- Use an app licensed where you are. Not where you live, but where you are standing when you bet. Apps check your location.
- Meet the minimum age: 21 in most US states, 18 in most other countries.
- Avoid unlicensed offshore sites. If they refuse to pay, nobody can make them.
- Know the fight-night clock. PPV main cards usually start at 10 p.m. ET. Our guides convert that to your local time.
