Sports Betting in Estonia
Sports betting in Estonia has been legal for more than a decade, and is currently extremely popular. According to the Estonian Consumer Protection Board, nearly 10% of all Estonians have placed bets on sporting events. Most of the country's bookmakers are operated by the same company – Spordiennustus, which is owned by the Estonian Olympic Committee, which also operates most of Estonia's casinos.

While football is the most popular sport to place bets on in Estonia, horse racing is also prominent, even though there is only one horse racing venue in the country – the Hipoodrome in Tallinn. Here, another company, called Totalisaator, runs bets on the races; they also offer wagers on other sports events from the track-side betting shop. Finally, many of Estonia's casinos offer sports betting facilities to attract more customers.

Online Sports Betting in Estonia
Online sportsbooks in Estonia are also fully legal, and sports betting on the internet is widely accepted. The Estonian sportsbook company Spordiennustus opened the first legal internet gambling site in Estonia back in 2004. It accepts bets on sports online, and also offers state lotto, and bingo/keno style number games. Another official venue for Estonian sports internet betting is the Hipoodrome website, where members can place wagers on horse races.

Estonians also have the option of using online sportsbooks hosted outside of Estonia. There are a number of major European sportsbooks that accept players from Estonia, and some even provide their services in Estonian language. While the government in Estonia frowns upon this, the sites are located in countries where the Estonian government has no jurisdiction, so not much can be done about it.
