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

How Rhode Island's Regulated Market Works

Rhode Island's regulated online casino market launched on March 5, 2024, making it the seventh US state to legalize real-money online casino gambling. It's overseen by the Rhode Island Division of Lottery.

Rhode Island's law extends Bally's existing arrangement over the state's two land-based casinos to online casino gambling, meaning Bally's online arm is currently the only licensed operator in the state.

Lincoln and Tiverton: Rhode Island's Two Casinos

Rhode Island's entire online casino market runs through Bally's two properties: Bally's Twin River Lincoln Casino Resort in Lincoln, and Bally's Tiverton Casino Hotel in Tiverton. Since state law extends Bally's existing arrangement to online play, there's currently no route for another operator to enter the market.
