Rhode Island became the seventh state to offer online casino gaming, with Bally’s adding the vertical for Ocean State bettors Tuesday.
It is the first state to launch online casino gaming since Connecticut in October 2021, though Delaware began 2024 by switching operators from 888 Holdings to BetRivers. Bally’s has been offering mobile sports betting in the Ocean State since September 2019 and has Rhode Island’s only two brick-and-mortar casinos in Lincoln and Tiverton.
“We are pleased to launch this new gaming product, which is borne out of our partnership with the General Assembly, Governor (Daniel) McKee and our regulators … to enhance state revenue and better position the state’s casinos in the competitive New England gaming market,” said Craig Eaton, president of Bally’s Rhode Island Operations.
