Online Casinos in Oregon
Are real-money online casinos legal in the Beaver State, and what can you actually play online right now?
Short Answer
No. There are no licensed online casinos in Oregon.
Oregon never legalized online casinos. ORS 167.109, on the books since 2001, makes running an internet gambling business a Class C felony. The state constitution also reserves casino-style games for the Oregon Lottery and federally recognized tribes. What you can do online: bet sports through DraftKings (the Lottery's exclusive partner since January 2022) and play sweepstakes sites that offer a free entry. Everything else is in person, at one of nine tribal casinos or an Oregon Lottery retailer.
How It Happened
Voters reject Measure 82
The Oregon Privately-Owned Casinos Amendment, which would have authorized a non-tribal casino in Multnomah County in exchange for 25 percent of adjusted gross revenue, fails at the ballot. Tribes, the Lottery, and the Governor's office all opposed it.
Oregon Lottery launches Scoreboard
The Lottery debuts its in-house Scoreboard mobile sportsbook, relying on Oregon's PASPA grandfather status earned by the Sports Action parlay game that ran from 1989 to 2007. Scoreboard is the state's first online sports betting product, 21 and over.
DraftKings replaces Scoreboard
Oregon Lottery and DraftKings switch the state over to DraftKings Sportsbook under an exclusive contract announced January 12. Scoreboard accounts and balances migrate to DraftKings. It remains the only legal mobile sports betting app in Oregon.

Why There Are No Online Casinos
Oregon never enacted an online casino statute. ORS 167.109, signed into law in 2001, makes it a Class C felony for an internet gambling business to accept credit cards, electronic funds transfers, or any other financial instrument tied to unlawful online play. Article XV Section 4 of the Oregon Constitution reserves casino-style games for state lottery products and federally recognized tribes, which keeps any private commercial operator out.
Voters slammed the door on private casinos in November 2012 by rejecting Measure 82, a constitutional amendment that would have authorized one Multnomah County casino in exchange for a 25 percent state-fund tax. Since then no legislator has filed an online casino bill. The Oregon Lottery already runs the only state-licensed online wagering product, the DraftKings Sportsbook app under an exclusive contract that started January 18, 2022, and the nine tribal casinos hold all in-person gaming under IGRA compacts negotiated with the Governor's office. The 2025 and 2026 sessions opened with no iGaming draft on the agenda.
What You Can Play Online
The legal options Oregon residents have today, online and in person.
Online Sports Betting (DraftKings Only)
DraftKings Sportsbook is the only state-authorized mobile sportsbook in Oregon, operating under an exclusive Oregon Lottery contract that took effect January 18, 2022. It replaced the Lottery's in-house Scoreboard app, which launched October 16, 2019. Minimum age 21. College games involving Oregon schools and player-prop bets on college athletes are restricted.
Tribal Casinos
Nine tribal casinos statewide, run by eight federally recognized tribes under IGRA compacts. Spirit Mountain (Grand Ronde) is the largest by floor area. Other venues include Wildhorse near Pendleton, Chinook Winds in Lincoln City, Seven Feathers in Canyonville, and two Ko-Kwel properties in North Bend and Medford. In-person play only, generally 21 and up because most properties serve alcohol.
Oregon Lottery and Video Lottery
Powerball, Mega Millions, Megabucks, Keno, Cash Pop, and scratch-its sell only at retail. Video lottery terminals (line games and video poker) sit in licensed bars and taverns across the state. Oregon does not run an online iLottery, so digital ticket sales come only from third-party couriers. Minimum age 18.
Sweepstakes and Social Casinos
Oregon has no statute that bans sweepstakes casinos by name, and the Oregon DOJ has not issued cease-and-desist orders the way Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arizona regulators have. Operators that include a genuine free entry method continue to serve residents. Not state-licensed gambling. Most sites set 18 or 21 as the minimum.
Charitable Bingo, Raffles, and Monte Carlo
Tax-exempt nonprofits can apply to the Oregon Department of Justice for a charitable gaming license under ORS 167.118. Bingo prizes are capped at $5,000 per game, and operating expenses cannot exceed 22 percent of annual handle. Small bingo (under $5,000 per year) and small raffles (under $10,000 per year) are exempt from licensing.
Play Responsibly
You must be 21 to use DraftKings Sportsbook in Oregon or play at a tribal casino, and 18 for the Oregon Lottery, bingo, and charitable raffles.
