Who are the licensed online casino operators?

Licensed online casino operators are the companies a state regulator has approved to offer real-money play. Each state decides its own list, and that list is the final word. New Jersey's has about 30 online casinos under nine licensee groups, while Rhode Island has one operator, Bally's. A brand licensed in one state may not be licensed in yours.

Where do you find the list for other states?

Go to the regulator, because we have not read a full current list for every state. Your state page links to it. The Michigan Gaming Control Board says only operators it licenses may legally offer online gaming there, and it publishes an authorized list that we could not open.

Each state page links to the regulator and shows the date we last checked it.

Why does a brand appear under a different casino in each state?

Most online brands run under a license held by a land-based casino or similar certificate holder. FanDuel, for example, sits under Golden Nugget in New Jersey and under Valley Forge Casino Resort in Pennsylvania. One licensee can also carry several brands, as Hollywood Casino at Penn National does in Pennsylvania. So check the state list for the exact site you plan to use.

Does being on a state list make a casino a good choice?

No. A place on the list means the regulator approved the site to operate, and state rules apply to it. It does not tell you about bonus value, payout speed or service. InsideCasino.us does not rank these brands or link to sign-ups. See what protects your money and how to complain.

What are the rules in your state?

Each state sets its own online casino rules. Pick a state to see its status, its regulator and the date we last checked it.
