Yes, but you cannot bet on in-area teams no matter where they are playing. That means teams like the Georgetown Hoyas are off-limits. You also cannot bet on other programs playing in DC even if they are out of the area. So if Alabama is playing a game at the Wizards arena, you cannot wager on that game.
