Oregon
- The state Lottery is the center of Oregon's market, running about 10,865 video lottery terminals in roughly 2,083 bars and taverns.
- Sports betting is a sole-operator monopoly held by DraftKings under exclusive contract with the Lottery since January 2022.
- Nine tribes run Class III casinos with their own retail sportsbooks, and Oregon's broad gambling statute covers fantasy sports, sweepstakes casinos and skill games.
More detail
- Video lottery. The Lottery runs about 10,865 video lottery terminals (VLTs) across roughly 2,083 bar and tavern retailers. This is by far the Lottery's largest revenue source. The figures come from a 2023 Lottery committee presentation. Other sources often round them to "nearly 11,000" terminals in "about 2,150" premises.
- Sports betting. Sports betting is a sole-operator monopoly. DraftKings Sportsbook has held an exclusive contract with the Lottery since January 2022, after SBTech's "Scoreboard" app from October 2019. DraftKings receives 49% of net sports-wagering revenue under Section 11 of its Lottery contract. A clause could raise its share to 85-95% if the single-operator model is opened to competition.
- Tribal gaming. Nine federally recognized tribes separately operate Class III casinos under IGRA compacts dating to 1992. They include their own retail sportsbooks, such as BetMGM at Spirit Mountain, outside the Lottery's jurisdiction.
- Legal framework. Oregon's gambling statute (ORS 167.117) applies the same material-degree-of-chance test to daily fantasy sports, sweepstakes casinos, and skill-game machines alike. There is no standalone skill-game exemption.
- Fantasy sports. A November 2025 Attorney General opinion found fantasy-sports contests are "gambling" on this basis.
- Prediction markets. A February 2026 federal class action accuses Kalshi of running an illegal gambling enterprise in the state. Oregon sits in the Ninth Circuit, which ruled against Kalshi on CFTC-preemption grounds in a Nevada case (KalshiEX v. Assad, Aug. 28, 2026).

| Sports (online) | Live | Oct 2019 | Monopoly State | Oregon has no statute specifically authorizing sports wagering; the Lottery launched mobile sports betting ('Scoreboard') under its own pre-existing general authority to offer new Lottery games, through Lottery Commission rulemaking rather than a dedicated sports-betting enabling act. 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 does not take bets on college sports, unlike the tribes' retail books. Under Section 11 of the Lottery-DraftKings contract, DraftKings receives 49% of net sports-betting revenue and the Lottery keeps 51%; DraftKings' share could rise to 85-95% if the state's monopoly model were opened to competition, though that has not happened. Sports betting remains a small share of overall Lottery revenue: 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] |
| Online casino | Not authorized | No statute authorizes online casino games through the Lottery or otherwise. ORS 167.109 bars businesses from accepting certain payments for unlawful internet gambling. ORS 167.109 [8],[9] | ||
| Online poker | Not authorized | No statewide online poker framework exists; no-house-bank "social games" including poker are allowed in private homes and, where local governments permit, in businesses and clubs.[10] | ||
| Commercial casinos | Not authorized | Oregon's constitution restricts casino-style gaming to the state Lottery's own games (including VLTs) and tribal land; there is no commercial (non-tribal, non-Lottery) casino license category. Or. Const. art. XV, § 4 [8] | ||
| Tribal casinos | Live | Legalized 1992 | Monopoly Tribal | Nine federally recognized Oregon tribes hold Class III gaming compacts; sources vary on whether eight or nine currently operate casinos (at roughly nine to ten locations, two reportedly Class II), including Spirit Mountain, Chinook Winds, Wildhorse, Seven Feathers, The Mill, Three Rivers, Kla-Mo-Ya, Indian Head, and Old Camp. The Cow Creek Band's compact (approved 1992) was the state's first. 25 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq. (IGRA) [11],[12] |
| Lottery | Live | Apr 25, 1985 | Monopoly State | Created by two measures voters approved at the Nov. 6, 1984 general election (a constitutional amendment and a companion statute), both passing with about 66% of the vote, dedicating proceeds to job creation and economic development; sources conflict on the exact ballot-measure numbers (Measure 4 vs. 5), so none is stated here. The Lottery sold its first ticket, a $1 "Pot of Gold" scratch-it, on April 25, 1985. Or. Const. art. XV, § 4; ORS ch. 461 [13],[14] |
| iLottery | Not authorized | The Oregon Lottery's own site advertises no online ticket purchase, mobile-app draw-game sale, or "buy online" feature; it directs players to retail locations, and no statute authorizes online sale of Lottery draw-game tickets.[15] | ||
| Daily fantasy | Contested | A Nov. 13, 2025 Oregon AG opinion (OP 8297) concluded that fantasy-sports contests are 'gambling' under ORS 167.117(7) because roster-construction skill does not eliminate the chance element inherent in real-world player performance, and that Oregon has not enacted a fantasy-contest exemption. A 2017 bill to license DFS through the Lottery Commission did not pass. DraftKings stopped offering paid DFS contests in Oregon in July 2021, citing legal uncertainty, while continuing to operate the state's sportsbook monopoly. ORS 167.117(7) [16],[17]? | ||
| VGTs / VLTs | Live | Mar 1992 | Monopoly State | Video Lottery (video poker from 1992; video 'line games' added May 2005) is the Lottery's largest revenue source — about 76% of total Lottery revenue in a recent fiscal year. About 10,865 terminals operate across 2,083 Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission-licensed bars and taverns (526 video-only retailers plus 1,557 combined traditional-and-video retailers, out of 3,793 total Lottery retailers), capped at 6 terminals per premises; players must be 21+. 2.5% of Video Lottery net receipts is dedicated by law to counties for economic development. Retailer compensation is set by the Lottery Commission under ORS 461.310 rather than fixed in statute; OAR 177-040-0026 sets a tiered, declining-percentage schedule of dollars played per retailer per day, from 2.20% on the first $2,250,000 played down to about 1.34% at the highest volumes. ORS 461 (lottery games); ORS 320.011-320.013 (terminal tax) [13],[18],[19],[20]? |
| Historical horse racing | Limited | HB 2613 (2013) authorized 'historic horse racing' (replay-based pari-mutuel wagering) specifically for Portland Meadows. That is distinct from slot-machine-style HHR terminals: in Feb. 2022, following a Dept. of Justice opinion that 225 HHR machines would constitute both a casino and a lottery under the Oregon Constitution, the Racing Commission voted unanimously to deny TMB Racing's proposed HHR machines at the planned Flying Lark complex in Grants Pass. A 2023 Racing Commission audit found Oregon's gaming statutes 'ambiguous' and called for updates. 2013 Or. Laws, HB 2613; ORS ch. 462 [21],[22],[23] | ||
| Sweepstakes casinos | Contested | Oregon has no statute that expressly names or bans dual-currency online sweepstakes casinos. Legality turns on the general criminal-gambling definition (ORS 167.117), which hinges on whether 'consideration' is required to play; a sweepstakes operator avoiding a finding of consideration generally relies on a genuine Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE). No AG opinion or court ruling has addressed sweepstakes casinos specifically. General sweepstakes-promotion disclosure rules (ORS 646A.803) still apply. ORS 167.117; ORS 646A.803 [24] | ||
| Prediction markets | Not authorized | A federal class action filed in Oregon in February 2026 accuses Kalshi of running an 'illegal online gambling enterprise' in violation of Oregon's prohibition on non-state-run gambling, seeking double damages under the state's loss-recovery statute. That suit is a private plaintiff action, not a state regulator, AG, or court acting against the platforms, and no ruling has issued in it; no Oregon regulator, AG, or legislative action against event-contract platforms has occurred. Contracts remain available to Oregon residents statewide under claimed federal preemption. Oregon sits in the Ninth Circuit, which ruled against Kalshi on CFTC-preemption grounds on Aug. 28, 2026 in KalshiEX v. Assad, a case arising from Nevada's enforcement; that ruling is binding Ninth Circuit precedent.[25] | ||
| Skill games | Contested | Oregon law defines "contest of chance" as any contest in which the outcome depends in a material degree on chance, "notwithstanding that skill of the contestants may also be a factor therein" — i.e., unlike some states (e.g., Idaho, which exempts "bona fide contests of skill" outright), Oregon's statute has no standalone skill-game carve-out; a grey/skill-game machine's legality turns on the same material-degree-of-chance test used for DFS and sweepstakes casinos. No enforcement action or AG opinion has specifically addressed skill-game machines as distinct from Lottery VLTs. ORS 167.117(6) [26] | ||
| Card rooms | Limited | Oregon has no licensed commercial card-room industry comparable to California or Washington. 'Social games' (including poker) with no house bank, house odds, or house income are exempt from the gambling prohibition; cities/counties may authorize them in private businesses and clubs (allowed since 1974 under ORS 167.121), but hosts may not charge entry fees, table rental, or otherwise take money from play. A 2017 bill (HB 2190) would have restricted business-hosted social games to charitable/fraternal/religious premises only. ORS 167.117(21); ORS 167.121 [10],[27]? | ||
| Lottery couriers | Not authorized | No third-party courier such as Jackpocket is integrated with or mentioned on the official Lottery site, and no Oregon statute authorizes courier sales.[15] | ||
| Pick'em fantasy | Contested | Would fall under the same Nov. 2025 AG opinion reasoning as traditional DFS, since no fantasy-contest statutory exemption exists. ORS 167.117(7) [16]? | ||
| Pari-mutuel | Live | Legalized 1933 | Competitive | Oregon Racing Commission (established 1933) regulates on- and off-track pari-mutuel wagering; Grants Pass Downs is Oregon's only remaining commercial race meet, alongside county fair race meets. ORS ch. 462 [28] |
| Advance deposit wagering | Live | Competitive | The Racing Commission licenses advance deposit wagering (ADW) companies and totalizer hubs. By statute/rule, 25% of ADW fees collected is directed to the state General Fund and the remaining 75% supports the racing industry; a 2025 legislative concept (LC 487) proposed eliminating the 25%-to-General-Fund mandate. ORS ch. 462; OAR ch. 462, div. 220 [29],[30]? | |
| Charitable gaming | Live | Charitable, religious, and fraternal bingo, lotto, and raffle games are exempt from Oregon's general gambling prohibition when conducted in compliance with state law; cities/counties separately license and regulate card-room/social-game premises and employees. ORS 167.117; ORS 167.118 [10] | ||
| Esports betting | Not authorized | The Scoreboard/DraftKings sports-betting rule's own "sporting event" definition covers "a game, match, race, or similar competitive event associated with a governing body," with no explicit mention of esports either including or excluding it. A 2022 Oregon State Lottery legislative presentation described the sports-betting program as digital-only, 21+, geofenced, and limited to professional sports, and both the program's 2019 launch and later DraftKings-era coverage name only traditional leagues such as the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, NWSL and NASCAR. OAR 177-092-0010 [31],[32],[33]? | ||
| Social casino | Live | Pure free-to-play, no-cash-prize social casino apps fall outside ORS 167.117(7)'s "gambling" definition, which requires staking something of value on a chance outcome, and no Oregon statute or regulator statement restricts this category. ORS 167.117(7) [26] |

Tax rates
| Vertical | Channel | Rate | Base | Tier | Promos deductible | Since | Statute |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Card rooms | retail | No tax exists because no taxable commercial card-room revenue is legally permitted. ORS 167.117(21)'s 'social game' exemption, under which card rooms/poker nights are allowed in private businesses and clubs when authorized by a city or county (ORS 167.121), strictly forbids any house bank, house odds, or house income from the games (no entry fee, table rental, rake, or other charge for the privilege of playing); any such charge would make the game an unlawful, untaxed/unlicensed gambling operation rather than a licensed card room. | OTHER | No | 1974 | ORS 167.117(21); ORS 167.121[10] | |
| Historical horse racing | retail | Originally a percentage-of-wager-revenue distribution to racing organizations under HB 2613 (2013); 2021 Or. Laws SB 165-B (enrolled), amending ORS 462.155 and 462.725, replaced that percentage split with fixed annual dollar payments by the licensee: $200,000/year to the Oregon Racing Commission, $20,000 to an Oregon-bred-horse purse account, $150,000 to the Oregon Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, $50,000 to the Oregon Quarter Horse Racing Association, and $50,000 to a special track fund, each rising 3% annually starting in 2022. No revenue is currently flowing under this provision because Portland Meadows, the only track that had offered historical-racing wagering, closed June 30, 2019, and the Racing Commission's 2022 denial of HHR terminals at the proposed Flying Lark complex (Grants Pass) means no licensee currently conducts historical-racing wagering in the state. | OTHER | No | Jan 1, 2022 | 2021 Or. Laws, SB 165-B; ORS 462.155, 462.725[38],[21]? | |
| Sports (online) | online | 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 | Jan 18, 2022 | [4] | ||
| Sports (retail) | retail | 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 | No | Sep 2019 | 25 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq. (IGRA); individual Oregon tribal-state gaming compacts[6],[11] | |
| VGTs / VLTs | retail | Not a state gaming tax; this is Video Lottery retailer compensation set by the Lottery Commission under ORS 461.310. Per OAR 177-040-0026 (effective June 28, 2020), retailers earn a tiered, declining percentage of dollars played per terminal per business day: 2.20% on the first $2,250,000 played, 1.75% on the next tier to $4,000,000, 1.50% on the next tier to $6,500,000, with additional lower tiers reported down to about 1.34% at higher volumes per a 2023 legislative summary. 2.5% of net Video Lottery receipts is separately dedicated by law to county economic development. | OTHER | Jun 28, 2020 | [19],[20] |

Notes
- Free-text notes that fit no other field
- Oregon's gambling policy structure is unusual in taxing gaming mainly through flat per-terminal fees (video lottery) and wagering-fee splits (ADW) rather than ad valorem taxes on gross gaming revenue, and in keeping tribal gaming entirely outside the state Lottery's regulatory and tax reach.[13]

- VGTs / VLTs: GGR is the Lottery's annual video lottery net revenue (dollars wagered minus prizes paid) from its audited financial statements. Fiscal-year totals only (July to June).
