3 Legal Operators

Oregon Sportsbooks


Oregon has the most restrictive sportsbook market in the United States — only one online operator (DraftKings) and two tribal retail brands (BetMGM, Caesars). All three operate under separate regulatory frameworks: the Oregon Lottery for DraftKings and tribal gaming compacts for the retail venues.

How Oregon's Sportsbook Market Works

Oregon does not use the multi-operator licensing model that most US states adopted post-PASPA. Instead, the Oregon Lottery operates a single-operator monopoly online — currently held by DraftKings since January 2022 — while tribal casinos run their own retail sportsbooks under separate gaming compacts.

This means Oregon residents and visitors have access to fewer brands than neighboring Washington or California, but the state captures one of the highest effective tax rates in the country (~51% of gross sports betting proceeds).
