Rhode Island Lottery weighs adding sports betting apps from 2026
The Rhode Island Lottery is assessing whether to admit more sports betting apps from 2026 after receiving eight responses to a request for information. Spokesperson Paul Grimaldi said the agency could issue a request for proposals later in October; IGT’s exclusive contract for the state’s current digital sportsbook runs through November 2026.
A move to multiple apps could alter the state’s single-operator market and create a new procurement opportunity.
