Good to know: The state legalized sports betting in July 2019
Traditional land-based casinos are currently illegal in New Hampshire. However, the state allows its venues to offer players table-based and machine-based games that are connected to local charities.
The current law on the books allows charities statewide to partner with charitable gaming operators, as long as they do not exceed 10 gaming dates per year.
Since the US Supreme Court overturned the federal ban on sports betting six years ago, 38 states along with the District of Columbia have opened legal sports wagering markets.
Online gaming is currently legal in seven states, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Rhode Island, West Virginia and Connecticut.
