Is sports betting legal in Oregon?
Yes. In Oregon, online and in-person sports betting are legal (as of Oct 11, 2026). Online betting launched Oct 2019; in-person betting Aug 2019. Operators pay Not a tax; this is the Lottery's commercial revenue split with its contracted mobile sportsbook operator. Under Section 11 of the Oregon Lottery-DraftKings contract, DraftKings receives 49% of net sports-wagering revenue and the Lottery in tax.
| Channel | Status | Launched | Model | Details |

| Sports (online) | Live | Oct 2019 | Monopoly State | The Lottery contracts with a single statewide mobile sportsbook operator at a time. SBTech's 'Scoreboard' app launched Oct. 2019; DraftKings Sportsbook replaced it as the exclusive operator effective Jan. 18, 2022 (SBTech had been acquired by DraftKings in 2020). The app geofences bettors off tribal land and, per secondary comparisons, does not take college-sports bets (unlike tribal retail books). Under Section 11 of the Lottery-DraftKings contract, DraftKings receives 49% of net sports-betting revenue (Lottery keeps 51%); a 2023 legislative committee document notes DraftKings' share could rise to 85-95% if the state's monopoly model were broken and additional apps were authorized, but no such change has been confirmed as triggered. Sports betting remains a small share of overall Lottery revenue (reported around 4.4% of total gambling revenue, with sports-betting revenue near $75M for FY2023-24, up 36% year over year). ORS 461.120-461.440; Or. Admin. R. ch. 177, div. 93 [1],[2],[3],[4],[5] |
| Sports (retail) | Live | Aug 2019 | Hybrid | Chinook Winds Casino Resort (Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians) opened Oregon's first retail sportsbook in Sept. 2019. Tribal casinos run their own retail sportsbooks (e.g., a BetMGM/Roar Digital book at Spirit Mountain Casino under a 2020 deal) separately from the Lottery, which does not regulate tribal land. ORS 461.213; Or. Const. art. XV, § 4(4) [6],[3],[7] |
Tax rate
| Rate | Since | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Not a tax; this is the Lottery's commercial revenue split with its contracted mobile sportsbook operator. Under Section 11 of the Oregon Lottery-DraftKings contract, DraftKings receives 49% of net sports-wagering revenue and the Lottery (state) retains 51%; DraftKings' share could rise to 85-95% if the state's single-operator mobile model were opened to competition, per a 2023 legislative committee document, but no such change is confirmed as triggered. OTHER (online) | Jan 18, 2022 | [4] |
| No Oregon state tax applies to tribal retail sportsbooks (e.g., Chinook Winds, Spirit Mountain). These operate under each tribe's federal IGRA Class III gaming compact on tribal land, which the Oregon Lottery does not regulate and which is outside ORS ch. 461's state-lottery sports-betting framework (that framework covers only the Lottery's own 'Scoreboard'/DraftKings mobile product, tracked separately as sports_online). OTHER (retail) | Sep 2019 | [6],[8] |
