Delaware’s position
Delaware’s lottery runs sports betting. It launched at the state’s three casinos in June 2018, and online sportsbooks followed in January 2024. State law makes it unlawful for anyone “under 21 years old” to bet on the sports lottery, and bets on games involving Delaware teams aren’t allowed.
Attorney General Kathleen Jennings signed the October 2026 multistate brief asking the US Supreme Court to take up a Kalshi case on the states’ side. We found no Delaware enforcement of its own. See is Kalshi legal?
