Global gaming supplier IGT has inked a multi-year extension to its agreement to supply Rhode Island’s online and retail sports betting platform.
The two-year contract extension will run through at least November 2028 and will see the IGT PlaySports division remain at the core of Sportsbook Rhode Island, which has been the state’s only online betting app since legal sports betting was launched in the state in 2018.
IGT has managed the Sportsbook Rhode Island app after it took over from a partnership between the Rhode Island Lottery and Caesars Sportsbook in 2019.
The announcement gives clarity around IGT’s long-term role just a month after the Lottery revealed a plan for expansion of the state’s tightly controlled sportsbook market.
