Online Sports Betting In Oregon
Oregon Lottery Scoreboard is your trusted online sportsbook. 100% legal, the latest and best odds and all major US & International sports including professional football, basketball, baseball, golf, soccer. Oregon is launching online and mobile sports betting first, so initially all legal sports betting in Oregon will take place online. Modern geo-location technology is amazingly accurate. The SBTech platform will be. Oregon is the 12th state with legal, regulated sports betting. Lottery officials are in the process of programming their lottery app to work with online sports betting service Scoreboard. There are no Oregon online sportsbooks at the present nor OR sports betting sites (even if all the fans and probably the operators would love that). On the other hand, Oregon has 9 tribal casinos to offer.
Oregon offered Sports Action, or parlay-type betting, from 1989 until 2007. It was abandoned when it became an issue for the state to host the NCAA basketball tournament.
As one of the only states with previous history with gambling, bettors in Oregon were happy to see the return of legal sports betting in 2019 after PASPA was overturned in 2018. In 2018, courts voted to allow each state to propose and create their own laws and regulations for sports betting.
Most sports wagering in Oregon takes place at the state-operated Scoreboard app and website. Retail locations like tribal casinos are allowed to offer casino gaming, including sports betting as well. Countless locations across the state can sell lottery games, instant tickets, and keno. One issue is that no tribal casino is located close to the state’s largest city: Portland.
Oregon is currently in discussions to allow betting on virtual events. If discussions move forward, it would be one of just two states to offer wagering on virtual events, with the other being New Jersey.
