Is sports betting legal? 

No

With no land-based casinos, Alaska has show little appetite to regulate gambling of any form, and sports betting is unlikely to be any different. Currently, only limited charity gaming is permitted. With a population of just 740,000, it is unlikely to be high on the list of priorities for operators, either.
