While the other two states that have legal online poker are pretty famous for their gambling, particularly in Las Vegas in Nevada and Atlantic City in New Jersey, Delaware has taken a similarly progressive view towards gambling in recent years and have both land based casinos and legal sports betting, so it was quite natural for them to adopt the positive attitude towards online poker along with these other 2 states.ĭelaware only has a population of about a million people though, which might seem like a lot to start up a fairly thriving online poker operation, but in actual fact this isn’t a lot of people to do that anyway, and it takes a whole lot more people to really drive online poker, and even New Jersey, which has almost 10 times as many people, didn’t exactly explode and while the operations here and in New Jersey have been successful enough to make them viable, this wasn’t the case with Delaware, who struggled mightily to stay alive. Harrington Raceway may be called a raceway but it’s also a land based casino, and like the other two racetrack and casinos in the state, they also offer online gambling and online poker, as the state of Delaware has licensed all 3 establishments to provide online gambling to people in Delaware.ĭelaware became the third state in the United States to license and regulate online poker back in 2015.
