Delaware was an early entrant — the state's lottery accepts parlays since 2009 under a federal-grandfather exception, and full single-game wagering launched June 2018 (one of the very first post-PASPA states). The Delaware Lottery is the sole operator; commercial brands cannot enter. Retail sportsbooks operate at the three racetracks.
