Oregon Online Gambling

Can you gamble online in Oregon?

OREGON has legal sports betting with the mobile version dominating, and just two retail sportsbooks including the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City.

There are plans in place for several of the state casinos to offer sportsbooks in the future, with the only online app now run by DraftKings, the gambling giant taking over the role from Scoreboard Lottery. It is the second exclusive lottery agreement DraftKings has entered into after the deal it brokered in New Hampshire.

Oregon’s sport betting history is well established, one of four to be exempt from the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, PASPA, that effectively banned US sports betting in 1992. The Oregon Lottery successfully offered NFL betting through a lottery game, Sports Action, only stopping in 2007 under pressure from the National Collegiate Athletic Association. 

In-person sports betting is now open to anyone aged over 21 at Chinook Winds and at Mills Casino in North Bend, along with online availability.

Oregon Casinos

No moves have been made to legalize online casinos, with land-based tribal venues offering slots, roulette, and a variety of table games.

Oregon Poker and Card Rooms

Online poker is outlawed but in-person play is available at the state’s casinos. Offshore sportsbooks offering online poker are open to US residents but they operate outside of US law, so you have no consumer protection; this means you are not guaranteed pay-outs on any winning bets and your account could be closed down with no prior notice.

OR Horse Racing Betting

The state has no operating race tracks but parimutuel betting is allowed at a number of off-track betting locations and there is also betting available through advance-deposit wagering platforms like TwinSpires, BetAmerica and TVG.
