IGT PlaySports (which has an operations office in Providence), Caesars Sportsbook and RIL have teamed up to offer retail and mobile sports betting since 2018.

"IGT is very pleased to continue our long-term relationship with the Rhode Island Lottery through 2028 and help generate important revenue for the State through its sports betting operations powered by PlaySports technology," said Joe Bertolone, IGT SVP Sports Betting in a news release. "IGT PlaySports continues to invest in the Sportsbook Rhode Island app to ensure the Lottery is offering a premier betting product that makes a positive impact on the State's commitments to good causes."

Both online and in-person betting is available at two casinos within the state: Bally’s Twin River Lincoln and Bally’s Tiverton.

The state-run Sportsbook Rhode Island app is the only available online sportsbook, managed by the Rhode Island Lottery.
