Online sports betting is legal in Rhode Island, but it limited by only offering a solitary, lottery-run betting site and an in-person registration requirement. Sports betting was signed into law by Gov. Gina Raimondo in late June 2018, but it took nearly five months for the state to accept its first wager. Online sports betting and daily fantasy sports are distinct products and regulated as such. Betting on the DraftKings Sportsbook is currently only available in certain states.

The state became the eighth to offer sports betting in 2018, months after the Supreme Court struck down PASPA. In early 2019, lawmakers expanded the existing provisions to include online and mobile betting. Rhode Island launched mobile sports betting with in-person registration in late 2019.
Sports betting apps in Rhode Island
Mobile sports betting in Rhode Island is conducted by the Rhode Island Lottery, powered by William Hill on an IGT platform.
You can download the mobile app and soon will be able to register remotely without visiting Twin River Casino or Twin River Tiverton in person to verify your identity.
You don’t have to be a resident of Rhode Island, but you do have to be within the state’s borders to place a bet.
The original law limited sports betting to in-person at the Twin River casinos, but the legislature soon realized that was a mistake and passed an expansion to allow statewide mobile betting. That bill was signed into law in March 2019.
