State guide

First US state to launch regulated online casino (2013), run by the state lottery through the three racinos. Since late December 2023 the single platform provider is Rush Street Interactive (BetRivers), replacing the prior 888 platform (general knowledge, medium confidence). No legislative changes in 2025-2026.
Retail sports betting since June 2018 at the three racinos; online since December 2023 with BetRivers as the only online sportsbook; no in-state college games or college player props; age 21.
No sweepstakes-specific statute, but the Delaware Division of Gaming Enforcement issued cease-and-desist orders to VGW (Feb 2023 and April 2025) holding that unlicensed sweepstakes casino games violate the Delaware Constitution, Penal Code and Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012; VGW withdrew 2025-04-02 and 30+ other brands followed. Trackers disagree (sweepsy Jul 2026 'no ban statute; operators active' vs vegasinsider Feb 2026 'restricted'); recorded as restricted due to active enforcement.
DGE's 2025 enforcement position is that real-money online games offered to Delaware residents by any unlicensed entity violate the Delaware Constitution, Penal Code and Gaming Competitiveness Act; only the Lottery-run platform is authorized. Confidence medium.
