Oregon Online Gambling

Oregon has established legalized casino gambling. The state has around 10 tribal casinos, with different tribes sharing out the locations.

For example, the Siletz tribe operates the Chinook Winds Casino Resort, while Spirit Mountain Casino is run by a community of five local tribes. Tribal gaming is overseen by the 1988 Indian Gaming and Regulatory Act. Unlike states like Oklahoma, there are no large non-tribal casino operators in Oregon.

Oregon online gambling? Let’s see the development in 2020.

Sportsbooks

Legal sports betting in Oregon has come a long way in a relatively short time. In fact, it is now legal. However, it is so new, it not quite up and running. The Oregon Lottery is calling the shots with online sports betting for the state and they say they should be live by the NFL season of 2019 or later in 2020 via their mobile app.

Casinos

All casino gambling in the state of Oregon is restricted to Native American property and there are more than ten total casinos in the state. There are no limitations on the games they can offer so poker rooms, slots, video poker, blackjack, roulette and slots are all available at your favorite Oregon casino.

Online Poker

While you can find live poker at many of the state’s casinos, playing online poker is deemed illegal by state law. However, there has never been any criminal prosecution of anyone playing poker online. For this reason, all of Oregon online poker is done via the many off-shore sites located on the internet.

Lotteries

The Oregon Lottery is a very large offering, especially when compared to how little the state offers in legal gambling options. All the top lottery games are available in the state as well as many Oregon-centric games such as Oregon’s MegaBucks and JackPot Trio. Their lottery has also been commissioned to run the state’s legal sports betting operation so it is important as ever.

Fantasy Sports

Wagering on fantasy sports is legal in Oregon if only by default. There are no laws saying it is illegal, just as there are none saying it is legal. This will change soon as there are bills in circulation clearing up the issue and with sports betting now being legal, one would only guess DFS will continue in Oregon, only regulated.

Horse Racing

Horse racing can be wagered on in Oregon any way you please. There is one track operating in the state for live action. There are Off Track Betting facilities located throughout the state offering simulcasts of races from all around the world. And finally, playing the ponies online is totally legal as well and there are several state-licensed horse race betting online sites operating in Oregon.
