As of my last update, betting in Alabama is subject to strict regulations. Alabama law generally prohibits most forms of gambling, including sports betting. However, there have been some developments that allow certain types of betting under specific conditions.

In May 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which gave states the right to offer legal sports betting. Since then, several states have legalized sports betting, but Alabama has not passed comprehensive legislation to allow for legal sports betting as of the latest information available.

However, there are certain exceptions:

1. **Horse Racing**: Alabama does allow pari-mutuel betting on horse racing, and there are a few racetracks in the state where this is permitted.

2. **Lottery**: The state operates a lottery, which includes various draw games and scratch-off tickets.

3. **Charitable Gambling**: Some forms of charitable gambling are allowed, such as bingo, under certain conditions and regulations.

4. **Indian Casinos**: There are a few Indian casinos in Alabama that offer Class II games, such as bingo and poker, under federal law.

It’s important to note that the legal landscape can change, and there may be efforts to legalize additional forms of betting in Alabama. For the most current information, you should consult the latest state laws or legal professionals in Alabama. Engaging in illegal betting can lead to fines and other legal consequences.
