Maine governor’s inaction delays online casino bill until 2026
Maine Governor Janet Mills took no action on LD 1164, leaving the online casino bill unable to become law in 2025. The proposal would give the state’s four federally recognised tribes one licence each, allow third-party operator partnerships and impose an 18% tax on iGaming revenue. The bill is due to return when lawmakers reconvene in January 2026.
The delay postpones any licensing opportunity for the tribes and potential operator partners under the proposed bill.
