A Delaware legislative working group issued a report this month, supporting the need for competitive online sportsbooks.
Delaware was the first state to legalize retail sports betting after the US Supreme Court lifted the ban in 2018. Delaware Governor John Carney placed the first bet on the Phillies. It was a winning bet, as the Phillies beat the Cubs. And sports betting has been a successful enterprise for Delaware, bringing in $62.6 million in tax revenue. But the state could have been an even bigger winner.
Delaware never passed legislation legalizing online sports betting, which was a huge impediment during the pandemic.
