Rhode Island might be the smallest state in terms of size within the United States, but carries a big attitude towards its progressive stance on gambling.
The Ocean State has made several breakthroughs in terms of sports betting and is set to change the landscape of online casinos for good. Bordering with Massachusetts and Connecticut, Rhode Island offers three great casino venues boasting high standard facilities.
Having legalised sports betting in 2018, Rhode Island is expected to follow in the legislative footsteps of New Jersey and cultivate a healthy and safe gambling environment for all punters.
On top of that, state lawmakers are also looking into making online sports wagering legal for mobile devices, paving the road for online gambling within the state.

Is Online Gambling Legal in Rhode Island?
No, as of early 2019 online gambling in the state of Rhode Island is not legal yet. This is because the Federal Wire Act and the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act are still firmly standing in the way of legal online gambling for many US residents.
In order for residents to gamble safely and legally, the state will need to make an effort to pass a law that can outline and execute a new, safe and modern gambling environment.
Minimum Legal age to Gamble in Rhode Island
Every state has its own minimum age limit in order for the person to participate in casino games. In Rhode Island, a person needs to be a minimum of at least 18 years old in order to enter a land-based casino, provided the casino does not serve alcohol on the premises.
When it comes down to lottery draws, players need to be 18 years old in order to purchase a ticket. There is no age limit to charitable games such as raffles or bingo nights.
Who Regulates Casinos in Rhode Island?
Overseeing the main gambling activities is the Rhode Island Lottery. The Rhode Island Lottery is responsible for protecting retailers and players alike, making sure all gambling activities are done in an orderly and safe manner.
Since Rhode Island is so small, the state did not feel the need to create a legislative body of its own. The Ocean State does not have a domestic gambling commission but relies on the Massachusetts Gambling Commission to extend its help towards its neighbouring state.
