State Rep. Frank Cooke (D-New Castle) introduced legislation that would allow multiple sports betting vendors to operate in Delaware as opposed to its current model — a contract solely with the BetRivers app.

That contract was made by the Delaware Lottery Office in August 2023, but Cooke explains the contract was signed before the Internet Sports Lottery Legislative Working Group was able to deliver its final report.

The working group ended up recommending the state allow up to six mobile sports betting operators, and Cooke’s legislation looks to codify that recommendation.

“This legislation will produce revenue for the state and to assure that Delaware state’s lottery office remains competitive with our neighboring states,” Cooke said.
