Last Updated Jan 31, 2023, 1:58 PM ET

Nicknamed “The First State,” Delaware was the second U.S. jurisdiction to begin accepting legal single-game sports bets. Delaware has operated an “in-person only” betting model since 2018. While online sports betting is legal, there is no timetable for the best sports betting sites to do business in Delaware.

Our Delaware sports betting guide will keep you up to date on all the latest news and updates.

    Delaware sports betting updates

    Delaware sports betting dates back to the mid-seventies, but 2018 marked the arrival of legal single-game sports betting.

    Here’s a glimpse into Delaware’s sports betting rearview mirror:

    June 5,  2018: Delaware’s three racinos — Dover Downs Hotel & Casino (now Bally's Dover Race & Sports Book), Moneyline Sports Bar & Lounge, and Murphy’s Race and Sports Book — launch the first retail Delaware sportsbooks.

    May 14, 2018: The Supreme Court deems the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) unconstitutional, opening the door for Delaware to offer legal single-game sports betting.

    July 26, 2017: Governor John Carney signs the Delaware Interactive Fantasy Contest Act, legalizing daily fantasy sports contests in Delaware.

    Aug. 24, 2009: A U.S. Court of Appeals rules against Delaware sports betting, confirming the state violated federal law (PASPA) by attempting to offer single-game sports betting. Delaware is permitted to offer parlay betting only.

    July 24, 2009: The NBA, NCAA, NFL, NHL, and MLB sue Delaware, claiming the state is in direct violation of The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act.

    May 14, 2009: Gov. Jack Markell signs a sports betting bill into law. The new law would bring single-game sports betting to Delaware.

    Oct. 28, 1992: The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act outlaws sports betting in the U.S. Delaware is one of four exempt states due to its previous parlay offering.

    1976: The Delaware Lottery operates a football parlay game. The short-lived lottery product would eventually give Delaware partial exempt status from U.S. sports gambling prohibition in 1992.

    Legal Delaware sportsbooks

    Retail sports betting, supplied by Scientific Games, is available at each of Delaware’s three racinos — Bally’s Dover Casino Resort, Casino at Delaware Park, and Harrington Raceway and Casino.

    Land-based Delaware sportsbooks

    Sportsbook Venue Address Phone Number Odds Provider
    Bally's Dover Race & Sports Book Bally's Dover Casino Resort 1131 N Dupont Hwy, Dover, DE 19901 302-674-4600 Scientific Games

    Murphy’s Race and Sports Book Harrington Raceway & Casino 18500 S Dupont Hwy, Harrington, DE 19952 302-398-4920 Scientific Games

    How to start betting in Delaware

    Getting started at a Delaware sportsbook is as easy as one, two, three: Visit one of three retail locations, and you'll be sweating bets in no time.

    Alternatively, over 100 retail outlets accept parlay bets on NFL and college football.

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    Delaware sports bettors are limited to just three retail sportsbooks. Consider your proximity to each location and read some reviews before departing for the casino.

    Check out our sports betting site reviews to learn more about potential future Delaware sports betting sites.

    2

    Register in person

    With no legal online wagering, all sports bets go through a Delaware racino. Head to Bally's Dover Race & Sports Book, Moneyline Sports Bar & Lounge, or Murphy’s Race and Sports Book to get in on the action.

    3

    Claim a bonus

    The most common sportsbook sign-up bonuses are typically reserved for new online sportsbook users. It’s not unheard of to encounter a welcome offer when visiting a retail location, but these promos are few and far between.

    4

    Deposit funds

    Accepting payment methods may vary at each of Delaware’s retail sports betting facilities. We recommend calling ahead to confirm your preferred method is supported.

    If online Delaware sports betting comes to town, expect to see a plethora of payment options available. The best sportsbook deposit and withdrawal methods include credit cards, debit cards, w-wallets, electronic money transfers, and more.

    5

    Choose your bet types

    Delaware bettors can find all the popular bet types when visiting a retail sportsbook, including point spreads, Over/Unders (totals), moneylines, parlays, futures, and more.

    6

    Start betting

    Once you’ve settled on your bets, confirm them with a teller or use a self-serve betting kiosk to lock in your selections.

    7

    Withdraw funds

    Visit the casino cage to access your winnings. Be aware that there may be minimum and maximum withdrawal limits.


    Reading the odds

    Delaware sportsbooks use American odds to display betting odds. These odds use minus signs (-) and plus signs (+) to represent favorites (-)  and underdogs (+). 

    For example, if the Philadelphia Eagles (-270) are hosting the New York Giants (+220). The -270 odds represent the $270 you would have to wager on the Eagles to win $100. On the other hand, +220 odds tell you a $100 bet on New York would net you a tidy $220 profit if you win. Betting on underdogs can result in a much larger payday, but there’s more certainly with a wager on a favorite.

    Check out our odds calculator to cycle between American odds, fractional odds, and decimal odds and view potential payouts.

    Crossing state lines: Nearby betting sites in 2023

    Delawareans yearning for online sports betting have plenty of legal options in nearby states. New Jersey and Pennsylvania stand as the top sports betting destinations, with popular online sportsbooks like DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars Sportsbook, and BetMGM headlining a long list of legal platforms.

    Who can bet on sports in Delaware?

    Delaware residents and visitors can visit one of three brick-and-mortar sports betting locations. Here’s a brief overview of what to expect in DE:

    21 plus logo Legal age

    Adults 21 and older can place legal sports wagers at Delaware sportsbooks.

    phone icon Mobile betting

    Online sports betting is legal in DE. However, the state has yet to license Delaware sports betting sites, and it doesn't look like the best sports betting apps will be arriving anytime soon.

    21plus Remote registration

    If online sports betting does become a reality, Delaware gamblers will likely be able to register, claim sign-up bonuses, and place bets on their mobile devices from anywhere in Delaware.

    globe Within state borders

    As retail sportsbooks are the only game in town, you must be physically located in one of three locations to place a legal sports bet. Should mobile betting arrive in the future, online sportsbooks will use geofencing software to ensure all bettors are located in Delaware.

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    percent Taxable winnings

    Delaware sports betting winnings are not taxed at the state level. A federal tax still applies to all sports bet winnings, however, as this money is considered income.

    The pros and cons of Delaware sports betting

    There's not much to write home about when it comes to Delaware sports betting. The door is still open for legal online sportsbooks to enter the fray, but there seems to be little appetite for online sports betting in DE.
