Vermont Legal Framework
Vermont legalized online sports betting in 2023, becoming the last state in New England to do so. Governor Phil Scott signed House Bill 127 into law on June 14, 2023, and the market officially launched on January 11, 2024. The Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery oversees all regulated sports wagering in the Green Mountain State.
