Maine Online Casinos | January 2026

📖 May 2022: The Wabanaki Nations are aligned to operate online sports wagering in Maine, and future Igaming licenses after Legislative Document 585 is passed.

📖 June 2025: Legislative Document 1164, which includes the legalization of online casinos, passes in the House and Senate, and awaits Janet Mills to either sign or take no action against the bill to be signed into law.

📖 January 2026: Governor of Maine Janet Mills allows Legislative Document 1164 to pass, legalizing online casinos in the state. 

The Maine Online Casino bill has been passed via Legislative Document 1164 as of January 2026. The bill will now become law in mid-April, after which an official launch date for igaming in Maine will be announced. Check back for updates.

Maine became the eighth state in the United States to legalize IGaming in January 2026. Let's take a look at some key details about online casinos in Maine.

Maine online casinos will launch sometime in mid to late 2026, with the earliest date being July 15, 2026. Recently, Governor Janet Mills allowed Legislative Document 1164 to pass without objection, so now the bill has to go through a launch process before online casinos can go live. The anticipation is that this will take multiple months before anything happens.

There will be a maximum of 4 online casino operators in the state of Maine. The Wabanaki Nations will have the final say on which operators receive licenses, but since they are already partnered with DraftKings & Caesars, they will almost certainly secure 2 of the 4 licenses. The other 2 licenses will most likely go to bet365, FanDuel, BetMGM, or Fanatics. 

All your favorite casino games will be offered for Maine Online Casinos, such as slots, table games, live dealer, and even poker. Every operator will have their own casino games library, but do expect a wide variety of options for players to choose from. 

Maine online casinos are going to go live in the coming months, so let's go over some of the most likely operators that could obtain the four licenses sorted from most likely to least likely:

The most likely online casino that will obtain a license in Maine is Caesars Casino. Caesars currently has three tribes in the state partnered with it for sports betting, so it makes sense that the partnership will extend into iGaming as well.

Caesars Online Casino offers more than 2,000 games, including slots, table games, and live dealer games. Look for all your favorite games in this online casino if it comes to Maine.

DraftKings Casino also has a foothold to obtain one of the other licenses, as they too have three of the four tribes already tied to their sports betting product in the state. Along with Caesar's Casino, we suspect DraftKings Casino will also be granted a license.

DraftKings Casino is also a fantastic option, with plenty of daily promotions and bonuses, plus a library of thousands of casino games.

FanDuel Casino usually goes hand and hand with DraftKings, so it makes sense why they could be the next online casino considered for a Maine license. While they initially applied for a sports betting license, they came close but were not granted one. They would most likely be considered again for an iGaming license, given their popularity in other legal casino states. However, it's not guaranteed they would be awarded a license.  

Another online casino to consider in Maine is Fanatics Casino, which also applied for a sports betting license and failed. Fanatics has been an up-and-coming operator in the sports betting and iGaming industry, adding numerous additions to their online platform. They, too, will try to obtain a license in Maine, but it is not as guaranteed as for other operators. 

BetMGM Casino is also in this bucket of possible online casinos that can obtain one of the licenses. They are very well known in the casino industry for their properties in Las Vegas and their online casino product. They also tried for a sports betting license in Maine but failed, so they would most likely try again to achieve an iGaming license. 

Maine will have online casinos coming, but if you ever want to play at a casino in person, you will have two different options to choose from in Hollywood Casino Hotel & Raceway Bangor and Oxford Casino Hotel & Sportsbook. Both of these options you can play at offer all your favorite slots and table games.
