Sports Betting Overview: Delaware

Delaware was the first state outside Nevada to offer full-scale legal sports betting after the PASPA overturn, launching retail sportsbooks on June 5, 2018. The state leveraged its existing lottery infrastructure through Delaware Park, Dover Downs, and Harrington Raceway. However, Delaware's sports betting market remains limited compared to neighboring states — there is no online or mobile wagering component. All bets must be placed in person at one of the three casino locations. Despite the limited format, Delaware set an important precedent as a first mover in the post-PASPA sports betting landscape. The state's small population and lack of mobile options keep handle numbers modest.
