Rhode Island account holders placed 4.23 million sports bets across Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York from July 2025 to July 2026, according to the Sports Betting Alliance, which is seeking to expand Rhode Island’s mobile sportsbook market.

The bets came from nearly 103,000 Rhode Island accounts, according to CDC Gaming Reports, citing WJAR’s reporting on the alliance’s figures. Online bettors must be physically located in the state where they place a wager.

The alliance includes DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics and BetMGM. It is preparing a new push to open Rhode Island’s single-app mobile betting market to additional operators, arguing that more competition could retain wagering and related revenue in the state.

“Expanding the state’s regulated market would keep those bettors, and the revenue and protections that come with them, here at home,” alliance President and CEO Joe Maloney said.

The group said Rhode Island could collect an additional $50 million over the next decade under an expansion proposal lawmakers considered this year.
