The market
Rhode Island runs a single operator through the state lottery, like New Hampshire, and the state takes 51% of revenue. With no competition, sign-up offers are minimal.
What this means for matched betting
One operator at a 51% revenue share means minimal sign-up offers, rarer reloads and no second local book to hedge against. That could change: the lottery picked Bally's in 2026 to run a second sportsbook.
