A number of states have legalized online sports betting. In many cases, the legalization of sports betting has been a net positive for the industry. Some of these states have adopted multi-operator online betting platforms, while others have opted for single operator sites. For example, the state of Rhode Island offers online sports betting using the William Hill/IGT platform, while Oregon has partnered with DraftKings to offer mobile betting.
The list of legal sports betting states is growing. However, there are still a number of offshore operators who are not accredited to operate in the US. It is important to stick with sites that have been approved by the state. These sites have already put in a lot of effort and investment. Although the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006 prohibits offshore operators from doing business in the US, there is still an active black market.
Despite this, South Carolina could make progress in the Deep South by legalizing sports betting. Although there’s been much resistance to the expotab, Governor Henry McMaster is up for re-election this November, and some of his opponents are pro-sports betting. Regardless, the state should make a decision soon.
Delaware became the first state outside of Nevada to legalize sports betting, and it has several retail sportsbooks. However, no online sportsbook has yet opened there. The New Hampshire Lottery, which regulates the gambling industry in the state, has only allowed one bookmaker to operate in the state. DraftKings has retail locations in Delaware.
