Lawmakers have taken steps to commission studies regarding the pros and cons of legalizing sports betting in Alaska. At this time, however, there does not seem to be much momentum pushing sports betting legislation forward.

If you're in Alaska and looking for a way to get involved in sports betting, try the Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) app, PrizePicks. PrizePicks is unlike other DFS games where users are required to set a lineup and compete against other players. Instead, PrizePicks sets player prop over/under totals, and all users have to do is guess whether or not a player will go over or under the projected stat line.

See what the hype is all about for yourself. If you need a little extra incentive, take advantage of Action's partnership code ACTION6 with PrizePicks that will match your initial deposit 100% on up to $100.

How Alaska Sports Betting Compares

Action will continue to provide updates as new developments may take place.
