Vermont Online Sports Betting: Launch, Sportsbooks, Promo Codes, and More

Vermont is now in the sports betting game. Pre-registration has started in Vermont sports betting with a full launch expected in January 2024. Here are the details about the launch, sportsbooks, bonuses, and more.

Is Sports Betting Legal in Vermont?

Yes! Vermont Gov. Phil Scott signed a Vermont sports betting bill back on June 14, 2023. The state has a launch date set for January 11, 2024. On that day, Vermont residents will be able to use online sportsbooks to place wagers.

When Will Vermont Sports Betting Launch?

The state launches on January 11, 2024. Right now, bettors can score pre-launch offers by signing up with legal sportsbooks that are regulated and approved in the state.

Vermont Sportsbooks

The state is allowing for two to six online sportsbooks to gain licenses and there is a 20% revenue tax. This means it will be tough for a sportsbook to gain access to the state. Operators have to pay $500,000 for a Vermont sports betting license along with a fee annually for the next three years.

DraftKings

DraftKings Vermont is moving quickly with a pre-launch offer that scores a user $200 in bonus bets for signing up before January 11. The bets will be divided up into eight $25 bonus bets.

DraftKings has great promotions, odds, a rewards program, same-game parlays, and more.

FanDuel

FanDuel Vermont looks like it will be another top option in the state. The popular operator is known for its Same-Game Parlays as well as bonuses that can include No Sweat First Bets. Also, FanDuel is one of the best in the sports betting market when it comes to live betting.

FanDuel Vermont also has a pre-launch offer where you can score up to $300 in bonus bets. If you register early, you get $100 in bonus bets on launch day. On top of that, if you place a $5 bet when the state goes live on January 11, you get another $200 in bonus bets.

Vermont Legal Betting Age, Registration Details

To bet on sports in Vermont, you have to be at least 21 years old. Bettors can register with their mobile devices as long as they are located within the borders of the state. Geolocation confirms where you are located and determines if you are in a legal area to place a wager.

Betting on College Sports in Vermont

Vermont bettors can place bets on college sports but not any in-state teams. The only way you can bet on an in-state team is if they are playing in a national tournament. This means you could bet on Vermont basketball in the NCAA Tournament but not for its regular season games. Teams outside of the state are fair game.

Popular Sports Teams to Bet in Vermont

There are no professional sports teams in the state of Vermont but the best teams in the New England area as well as New York will be drawing plenty of interest from Vermont bettors. These teams include:

• MLB
  • Boston Red Sox
  • New York Mets
  • New York Yankees
• NBA
  • Boston Celtics
  • Brooklyn Nets
  • New York Knicks
• NFL
  • Buffalo Bills
  • New England Patriots
  • New York Giants
  • New York Jets

Do Vermont Sportsbooks Have Bonus Offers?

Yes. New users can score bonuses from DraftKings or FanDuel. Right now, the sportsbooks have pre-launch offers that score users bonus bets for signing up before the January 11 launch date. Once the state is live, bettors can expect the top sportsbooks to continue to have promotions and offers to entice new users to register.

Casinos in Vermont

There are no casinos in the state of Vermont so users won't see any sportsbooks partnering with a land-based option. Sports betting looks like it will be entirely online through sports betting apps and websites.

What About DFS and Horse Racing in Vermont?

You can play Daily Fantasy Sports in Vermont through popular options such as DraftKings and FanDuel. Betting on horse racing is legal but there are no in-state racetracks. Those interested in betting on horse racing will have to use a racing sportsbook like FanDuel Racing.
