Best Casinos for the Wider United States Market

These aren't verified as licensed specifically in Delaware - they're evaluated for the broader United States market. If you're physically in Delaware, use one of the in-state licensed operators described below instead. See our full Best US Online Casinos guide for the complete rankings.

How Delaware's Regulated Market Works

Delaware has offered regulated online casino gambling since 2013, making it one of the first two states to do so alongside New Jersey. It's overseen by the Delaware Lottery (the Delaware State Lottery Office) rather than a separate gaming control board.

Delaware's online casino market runs through the state's three licensed casino properties, operating under the state lottery's oversight rather than as independent standalone brands.

Dover, Wilmington, and Harrington: Delaware's Three Casinos

Delaware's entire regulated online casino market runs through just three properties: Dover Downs in Dover, Delaware Park near Wilmington, and Harrington Raceway in Harrington. Every online casino licensed in the state operates under the Delaware Lottery's oversight through one of these three partners.

A note on legality

Delaware has regulated real-money online casino gambling since 2013, overseen by the Delaware Lottery. Every legal operator is required to hold a Delaware licence and partner with Dover Downs, Delaware Park, or Harrington Raceway - the casinos ranked at the bottom of this page are evaluated for the wider US market rather than verified against that specific licensee list, so if you're physically in Delaware, use a Delaware Lottery-licensed operator instead. This isn't legal advice - if you're unsure, check your local regulations before playing.
