Best Gambling Sites in Delaware 2026

Delaware was one of the first states out of the gate after the 2018 PASPA repeal and has run a fully legal online gambling market longer than almost anyone — but it operates as a state lottery monopoly rather than a competitive market. The Delaware Lottery contracts with a single operator: as of January 2024, BetRivers (Rush Street Interactive) replaced the longtime 888/Scientific Games platform for online casino and poker, and Rush Street also runs Delaware's online and retail sportsbook product across the state's three racinos: Bally's Dover, Delaware Park, and Harrington Raceway.

Delawareans can legally play online slots, table games, video poker, and peer-to-peer poker through the BetRivers Delaware app, place mobile sports bets statewide, and visit any of the three racinos for slots, tables, and retail sportsbook windows. The state lottery also sells Powerball, Mega Millions, and instant tickets, and DFS contests from DraftKings and FanDuel are explicitly legal under 2017 legislation. Charitable gaming is regulated separately by the state Board of Charitable Gaming.

The 2026 outlook is steady-state: the BetRivers transition has stabilized after a rocky launch, and there is no current push to open the market to multiple competing operators because the lottery model funnels revenue directly to the state's general fund.
