Online Casinos in Vermont

Vermont runs a mobile-only sports betting market with three operators and no brick-and-mortar casinos. Here is what is actually legal to play online in 2026.

Short Answer

No. There are no licensed online casinos in Vermont.

Act 63 of 2023 authorized mobile sports wagering only, and Title 13, Chapter 51 of the Vermont Statutes still treats casino-style gambling as a crime. What is legal here: mobile-only sports betting through DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics Sportsbook, regulated daily fantasy sports, charitable bingo and raffles, and sweepstakes casinos under the no-payment carve-out at 13 V.S.A. § 2143b.

Regulatory Timeline

How It Happened

  1. Daily fantasy sports legalized

    Governor Phil Scott signed S.136, exempting paid-entry fantasy contests from Vermont's gambling laws. The law required DFS operators to register with the Secretary of State and pay a $5,000 annual fee.

  2. Sports Wagering Act signed

    Governor Scott signed H.127, enacted as Act 63 of 2023. The law put sports wagering and fantasy contests under the Department of Liquor and Lottery and capped operators at a minimum of two and a maximum of six.

  3. DLL picks three operators

    The Department awarded competitive sports wagering contracts to DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics Sportsbook. Pre-registration opened the same day.

  4. Mobile sports betting goes live

    All three apps opened at midnight. The market closed fiscal year 2024 with about $3.5 million in state revenue, and 2025 handle grew to roughly $235 million for the year.

  5. Online lottery bill introduced

    House lawmakers introduced H.669 to authorize the Board of Liquor and Lottery to sell tickets through mobile apps and the internet. The bill was referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs and remains pending.

Why There Are No Online Casinos

Vermont's gambling baseline lives in Title 13, Chapter 51 of the Vermont Statutes. Section 2141 fines anyone who wins or loses money on a game of chance, and a separate provision bans slot machines outright. The only carve-outs are the Vermont Lottery (codified at 31 V.S.A. Chapter 14), the 2017 Fantasy Sports Contests Act (S.136), and the 2023 Sports Wagering Act codified at 31 V.S.A. Chapter 25. Online slots, table games, and live dealer products have no statutory home.

There is no commercial casino industry to push for an iGaming extension. Vermont has zero brick-and-mortar casinos, and the four state-recognized Abenaki bands are not federally recognized, so the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act does not let them open tribal casinos. In the 2025-2026 session lawmakers spent their gambling bandwidth on H.669, a bill to bring lottery tickets online, not on iGaming. No online casino bill has been introduced as of May 2026.

Play Responsibly

You must be 21 to bet on sports or play daily fantasy in Vermont, and 18 for the lottery and charitable gaming. If gambling stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER for free, confidential help, or read our responsible gambling guide.

FAQ

Vermont Gambling FAQ

Are online casinos legal in Vermont?+

No. Act 63 of 2023 only authorized mobile sports wagering and fantasy contests, and Title 13, Chapter 51 of the Vermont Statutes still criminalizes casino-style games. The Department of Liquor and Lottery does not license online slots or table games. Any site advertising "VT online casino real money" is offshore and unregulated.

Can I bet on sports online in Vermont?+

Yes. Mobile sportsbooks have been live since January 11, 2024. DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics Sportsbook hold the three state contracts, the minimum age is 21, and you have to be physically inside Vermont when you place a wager. There are no retail sportsbooks.

Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Vermont?+

Yes. Vermont has not passed a sweepstakes ban. The carve-out at 13 V.S.A. § 2143b allows sweepstakes promotions as long as no payment is required to enter. Major dual-currency sweepstakes platforms continue to accept Vermont players as of May 2026.

Can I buy lottery tickets online in Vermont?+

Not yet. The Vermont Lottery sells only through retail agents. H.669, introduced on January 14, 2026, would let the Board of Liquor and Lottery offer tickets through a mobile app and the internet, but the bill is still in the House Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs.

Are there any casinos in Vermont?+

No. Vermont has zero commercial casinos and zero tribal casinos. The legislature has never authorized commercial casino licensing, and the four state-recognized Abenaki bands are not federally recognized, so they cannot run IGRA-compact tribal casinos.

Will Vermont legalize online casinos?+

No iGaming bill has been introduced in the 2025-2026 session. Lawmakers are focused on H.669 to bring lottery sales online, and there is no commercial casino industry pushing for slots or table games. We update this page when the legal status changes.
