Online poker	Not authorized			No standalone online poker statute; general prohibition under 13 V.S.A. ch. 51 applies.[4]
Commercial casinos	Not authorized			Vermont has no commercial casino licensing statute; 13 V.S.A. §§2133-2139 criminalize keeping a gaming house or gambling instruments.[4]
Tribal casinos	Not authorized			No federally recognized tribe operates Class III gaming in Vermont (the Elnu and other Abenaki bands recognized by the state are not federally recognized); no tribal gaming compact exists.[4]
Lottery	Live	Feb 1978	Monopoly State	A Nov. 2, 1976 statewide advisory referendum (authorized by 1976 Act No. 252) asked whether the General Assembly should consider enacting a lottery; voters said yes by a roughly 2.5-to-1 margin. The General Assembly then enacted the actual enabling law, 1977 Act No. 82, effective April 27, 1977, creating the lottery. It began fiscal/administrative operations as an enterprise fund in Oct. 1977; the first game actually sold, the Green Mountain Game, went on sale in Feb. 1978. "Pick 3," the Lottery's first daily "online" (terminal-based) game, launched Nov. 10, 1980. Lottery statute specifically bars any lottery game whose outcome depends on an athletic contest (31 V.S.A. §651(1)). 31 V.S.A. ch. 14; 1977, No. 82 [5],[6],[7],[8]
iLottery	Not authorized			The Vermont Lottery does not currently sell tickets, subscriptions, or e-instant games online. No bill authorizing internet lottery sales has been enacted; two bills on the subject are pending before the General Assembly in the 2026 session.[9],[10]
Daily fantasy	Live		Competitive	Fantasy sports contest operators must register with the state (§1333) and meet consumer- protection and fair-advertising requirements (§§1331-1332); the Attorney General enforces (§1334). Enacted alongside the 2023 sports wagering law (Act 63). 31 V.S.A. §§1330-1334 [1]

Sweepstakes casinos	Not authorized			No Vermont statute or enforcement action specifically addresses dual-currency online sweepstakes casinos, which sell "gold coin" bundles that include free "sweeps coins" redeemable for cash prizes. 13 V.S.A. §2143b generally permits sweepstakes and contests of chance provided entrants are not required to risk money or other valuables; whether sweepstakes casinos fit this exception has not been tested by a Vermont court or the Attorney General.[12]?
Prediction markets	Not authorized			CFTC-registered event-contract platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket are available to Vermont residents statewide under claimed federal preemption from CFTC regulation. Vermont has taken no regulatory, enforcement, or court action for or against these platforms. The state falls within the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (with New York and Connecticut), which has not ruled on whether federal law preempts state regulation of these contracts; rulings in other circuits do not bind Vermont.[4]?

Pari-mutuel	Prohibited			Explicitly banned by statute - "A person shall not hold, conduct, operate, or simulcast a pari-mutuel dog race or pari-mutuel horse race" for public exhibition (13 V.S.A. §2153, amended 2019). Vermont's horse-racing licensing chapter (31 V.S.A. ch. 13, §§601-642) was separately and entirely repealed by 2019, No. 128 (Adj. Sess.), §15. 13 V.S.A. §2153 [11],[14]
Advance deposit wagering	Not authorized			No ADW licensing framework exists given the pari-mutuel racing ban.[11]
Charitable gaming	Live		Monopoly State	Limited to licensed break-open ("pickle card"/jar) tickets. Manufacturers ($3,000/yr) and distributors ($2,000/yr) are licensed by the Commissioner of Liquor and Lottery; only qualifying nonprofits may purchase and resell tickets, and net proceeds must go to charitable, religious, educational, or civic purposes. 13 V.S.A. §2143 separately addresses nonprofit gaming exceptions in the criminal code. 31 V.S.A. ch. 23 (§§1201-1208) [15]

Legislation

Summary of significant pending gambling legislation this session: Two bills are pending in the 2026 legislative session. S.318 ("An act relating to casino gaming," Sen. Christopher Mattos) would have the Board of Liquor and Lottery issue licenses for up to 2 casinos and adopt implementing rules; it was read for the first time and referred to the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Housing and General Affairs on January 27, 2026, with no committee hearings held as of that date. Separately, companion bills S.268 (Sen. Thomas Chittenden) and H.669 (Rep. Michael Marcotte and others) would authorize the Vermont Lottery to sell tickets online. S.268 was read for the first time and referred to the same Senate committee on January 16, 2026; H.669 was referred to the House Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs and heard in committee on February 4, 2026, with testimony from Liquor and Lottery Commissioner Wendy Knight. None of these bills had been enacted as of October 2026.[17],[9]

Notes

Free-text notes that fit no other field: 13 V.S.A. §651(1) (lottery rules) bars any state lottery game whose outcome depends on an athletic contest, mirroring the separation between the Lottery and the newer Chapter 25 sports-wagering regime.[8]

Sports betting rules

Wagering on esports is allowed; the Department's approved-events catalog includes sanctioned esports leagues and tournaments.
[16],[23]
New online accounts must be created in person: No
New accounts can be opened and verified entirely online; the law requires identity verification through secure databases or examination of a photo ID, not an in-person visit.

Prop bets on injuries, arrests, suspensions, and officiating calls are barred for every league. Bets on awards voted on by officials, media, or fans are barred unless based purely on statistics, and bets on league drafts, combines, or other player-evaluation events are barred.[23]

Tax revenue

Where gaming tax revenue goes (education fund: Sports wagering revenue and fees go into the Sports Wagering Enterprise Fund (31 V.S.A. §1304), which first pays the Department's administrative and operating costs (§1341). Each year the legislature appropriates the remaining balance to the General Fund ($6.1 million in fiscal 2025) and a separate amount to the Department of Mental Health's Problem Gambling Program (§1341a) - $250,000 in both fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025.[1],[26],[27],[28]
Uses that sports-wagering tax revenue is directed to by law, largest share first where the law sets shares: general_fund, problem_gambling
Most sports-wagering tax revenue is transferred to the General Fund each year after the Department's costs are covered; a smaller amount is appropriated to the Problem Gambling Program.
