The group's report did not specify a particular model for Delaware but highlighted an interest in protecting existing racetracks, suggesting a potential partnership with them. The House Internet Sports Lottery Legislative Working Group examined various online betting models adopted by neighboring states, such as Maryland, which allows up to 60 operators to directly license with the state and Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which require partnerships between online operators and physical establishments. In response, the Delaware House formed a task force to study the legalization of online sports betting. However, the absence of legislation for online sports betting means the state is losing out on additional revenue, something that was particularly noticeable during the pandemic, leading to a decline in tax revenue as neighboring states with online betting options flourished. Since its retail launch, sports betting has been lucrative for Delaware, generating $62.6 million in tax revenue. Delaware, the first state to legalize retail sports betting after a federal ban on the practice was lifted in 2018, now looks to online wagering to keep momentum.

A Delaware legislative task force has published a report this month endorsing the implementation of competitive online sports betting in the state.
