Maine gambling legislation

132nd Legislature (2025-2026) ended Jun 18, 2025 · Bill data as of Oct 11, 2026 from Open States · Maine overview

AI outlook · Oct 11, 2026

Maine enacted four gambling laws in the 2026 session: tribal-exclusive internet gaming for the Wabanaki Nations (LD1164, which became law without the governor's signature in January), a ban on online sweepstakes games, a prohibition on credit card use for sports wagering, and limits on bulk lottery ticket purchases. LD793, a gaming revenue allocation and problem gambling bill, died when the Legislature adjourned in April. The Legislature has adjourned sine die, so no gambling bill is pending.

What to watch: The 133rd Legislature convenes in December 2026 with a new session starting in January 2027, and LD793-type revenue and addiction prevention proposals could return. Watch for Gambling Control Unit rulemaking and tribal launch timing for online casino gaming.
