Licensed online casinos by state
How many online casino sites each regulator lists as authorized, read on September 17, 2026. Each link opens the regulator’s own list.
| State | Regulator | Authorized sites | Official list |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Jersey | New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement | 36 | Open the list |
| Pennsylvania | Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board | 23 | Open the list |
| Michigan | Michigan Gaming Control Board | 16 | Open the list |
Why there is no “US license”
Nobody licenses online casinos for the whole country. A site is authorized — or not — in one state at a time, by that state’s regulator, and it is supposed to refuse play from outside it. So the honest question is never “is this casino legal in the US”, it is “is it on my state’s list”.
Where these names come from
New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement publishes the authorized internet gaming sites and says plainly that any site not on the list is not approved to offer internet gaming in the state. Pennsylvania’s Gaming Control Board publishes a master list of interactive gaming certificate holders, the operator running each platform for them and the date operations started. Michigan’s Gaming Control Board lists every authorized platform next to the tribe or Detroit casino that holds the license. All three were read on September 17, 2026.
Why the license holder is a tribe so often
In Michigan most online casinos run under a federally recognized tribe’s license — Bay Mills Indian Community behind DraftKings, the Pokagon Band behind Four Winds, Gun Lake Tribe behind BetPARX. The brand you see is the platform; the license belongs to the tribe or the Detroit casino, and that is who a regulator holds responsible. Every profile names both.
What is not here yet
Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island were read from the regulator’s own page on October 17, 2026. Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection allows online casino gaming only through DraftKings or FanDuel, and names no domains. The Delaware Lottery links to three casino sites powered by BetRivers: Delaware Park, Bally’s Dover and Harrington. The Rhode Island Lottery says iGaming is offered by Bally’s Twin River Lincoln and Bally’s Tiverton on their own apps or websites. West Virginia publishes its license holders but not their websites, so no site from there is listed.
