As of my last update in early 2023, online sports betting is legal in Rhode Island. The state authorized sports betting in 2018, and it includes mobile betting within the state’s borders. However, online casino gaming and poker are not legal in Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island sports betting market is run by the state’s lottery, in partnership with Twin River Worldwide Holdings, which operates the Twin River Casino in Lincoln and Tiverton. Residents and visitors can bet on sports through the Twin River Sportsbook app or at the physical sportsbooks located at the casinos.
It’s important to note that online betting laws can change, and you should always verify the current legal status before participating. Always ensure that you are of legal gambling age (18 years or older for lottery games, 21 years or older for casino games) and located within Rhode Island state lines when placing a bet online, as geolocation services are used to ensure compliance with these regulations.
