- The Delaware Lottery said it would accept applications from vendors interested in its exclusive contract for providing online poker, casino gaming — and possibly, for the first time, online sports betting — through three racinos in the state.
- In a request for proposal (RFP) issued Thursday, the Lottery said it hopes to sign an initial five-year contract with a primary vendor, with the possibility of five one-year extensions given at its discretion. The Lottery also said it wants an agreement with a primary vendor to go live no later than November 1, 2023.
- 888 Holdings is the Lottery’s current primary vendor and provides online poker and casino gaming through skins at three racinos — Bally’s Dover (formerly Dover Downs), Delaware Park, and Harrington Raceway. Online sports betting has never been implemented in the state.

It’s unclear what the future is for 888 in Delaware. It’s possible that 888 could be among the applicants for a new agreement. Another possibility is that 888 retains the contract. A spokesperson for the UK-based company could not be reached for comment Thursday.
