Meanwhile, a proposal to allow more licences for sports betting is moving forward. The Senate recently voted 30-2 in favour of an amended version of majority leader Frank Ciccone’s Senate Bill 748, which now moves to the House.
Rhode Island currently has one sole sports betting brand: Sportsbook Rhode Island run by International Game Technology (IGT) under a contract with the Rhode Island Lottery. Bill 748 would open the market to competition by allowing up to five online sports betting licences to be granted through a competitive bidding process.
