Is Sports Betting Legal in Delaware?

Yes, sports betting is legal in Delaware. In 2018, Delaware became a trailblazer in the sports betting world by becoming the second state to accept legal single-game sports bets. This monumental change followed the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). Since then, Delaware’s sports betting industry has flourished, expanding to include Delaware online sports betting. In December 2023, BetRivers made history by launching the first online sports book in the state, offering Delaware bettors a convenient and legal way to place their bets online.

Mobile sports betting has arrived in Delaware, bringing the excitement of wagering right to your fingertips. Currently, BetRivers is the only Delaware sports betting app, thanks to a partnership between the Delaware Lottery and Rush Street Interactive. This collaboration ensures that mobile sports betting is accessible to anyone 21 years or older. All you need is an internet-connected device and to be within Delaware’s borders, verified by GPS, to start placing your bets. Whether you’re at home or on the go, mobile sports betting offers a seamless and convenient way to engage with your favorite sports.

Responsible Gaming in Delaware

Delaware is committed to promoting responsible gaming, ensuring that all bettors have access to the support and resources they need. The Delaware Division of Gaming Enforcement provides a range of initiatives, including toll-free helplines, voluntary self-exclusion lists, and responsible gaming tools.
