What this means for players in Utah
Utah's status on WorldWinner's published list is simple: cash competitions are listed as offered, with no carve-out for card games or for Progressive, Mega Event, and Fixed Prize Unlimited Entry tournaments. The five other operators in this guide's comparison say the same about Utah, with Skillz, AviaGames, FanDuel Faceoff, Papaya Gaming, and Play Perfect all listing cash play as offered. A reader should treat that as a description of published lists on the date checked, since any company can revise its map.
Utah has six neighbors, and only Arizona differs. On WorldWinner's list, Arizona is offered cash play except the three large-field formats named above, so those tournaments would disappear for a Utah player who is physically in Arizona at the time of entry. Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, and Wyoming match Utah on WorldWinner's list, though FanDuel Faceoff lists Nevada and Wyoming as free play only. Utah levies a flat 4.50% individual income tax, and the Utah State Tax Commission is the state's source on reporting.
