Colorado embraced online sports betting in May 2020. The new legislation passed by a narrow margin, but casinos operating within the State are now allowed to open both online and retail sportsbooks. There are currently no plans for online casinos or online poker.
Delaware
It may seem surprising, but Delaware was one of the earliest adopters of online gambling. Online casinos, online poker rooms and online sports betting all operate within the State.
Illinois
Sports betting became legal in Illinois in June 2019, and the first retail sportsbook opened in March 2020. In June 2020, Rivers Casino launched the first online sportsbook in the State. There are currently no plans for online casinos or online poker rooms.
Indiana
Online sports betting made its debut in Indiana in October 2019. However, there is currently no plan for online casinos or online poker rooms to open in the Hoosier State.
Iowa

Almost everything gaming-related is available in the Silver State. In fact, land-based casinos in Nevada offer more games than the other 49 states combined. When it comes to online options, both online poker and online sports betting are available.
New Hampshire
Online sports betting made its debut in New Hampshire in December 2019. However, there is currently no plan for online casinos or online poker rooms to open in the Granite State.

Oregon
Online sports betting was incorporated into Oregon very early in the game. However, there is currently no plan for online casinos or online poker rooms to open in the Beaver State.
