Rhode Island Sportsbook

Rhode Island sports wagering runs through the Rhode Island Lottery, which publishes no licensee or operator list. The Lottery's site links to exactly one sportsbook product, 'Rhode Island Sportsbook' / 'Bet on Sports in Rhode Island' at sportsbetrhodeisland.com, and names no operating entity, so none is shown. The Department of Business Regulation's Gaming and Athletics page (https://dbr.ri.gov/gaming-and-athletics) covers pari-mutuel wagering and the two Bally's gaming facilities and publishes no online sportsbook operator list either. Flagged: no regulator-published operator list exists for Rhode Island.
