Gambet DC is the new sports betting platform, available on iOS and Android, run by the state lottery and powered by Intralot.

The DC City Council approved a single vendor, Intralot, to be the official provider of sports betting in the district.

In 2018, the city council passed Bill 23-25 which would legalize sports betting in the district. The bill was signed by Mayor Muriel Bowser on Jan. 23.

But regardless, rules and regulations were released on June 14 and the Office of Lottery and Gaming began accepting applications for the two types of licenses permitted, Class A and Class B in 2019.

The Washington Nationals are brining a BetMGM sportsbook to Nat’s Park after striking a multi-year deal with the sports betting operator.

Finacials nor a timeline were not disclosed but part of the agreement does include a mobile betting app. This means customers will be able to place bets around the stadium if they are within a two-block radius (similar to Capital One Arena).

Additionally, William Hill announced the launch of its online sportsbook app. However, as DC law dictates, customers must be within a two-block radius of the Capital One Area in order to access it.

Capital One Arena is home to William Hill’s temporary retail sportsbook until construction is complete on its full-scale sportsbook.

What will DC sports betting look like?

At its core, DC sports betting will follow a similar lottery-operated framework like neighboring Delaware.

The Office of Lottery and Gaming, formally, The District of Columbia Lottery and Charitable Games Control Board will be charged with regulating and administering the industry.

However, the industry will be unique compared to every other state that has legalized sports betting following the US Supreme Court decision in May 2018.

How so? All other states that passed sports betting bills have some form of casino presence available — the district does not.

The bill authorizes both land-based and online/mobile sports betting. Operators will be taxed at 10 percent on revenue and mobile operations will be powered by the lottery platform powered by Intralot.

Multiple licenses for Washington DC sports betting

Class A licenses will be the four major sporting arenas in the district:

• Capital One Arena
• Audi Field
• Nationals Park
• St. Elizabeths East Entertainment and Sports Arena

Each facility will have a two-block buffer zone with licenses costing $250,000 and last for five years.

William Hill has partnered with the company that owns Capital One Arean and when given the go-ahead, will open a sportsbook inside the area.

Class B licenses will include hotels, bars, and restaurants but will not include a two-block buffer zone. Each location must pay a $50,000 licensing fee, which is also good for five years.

The first Class B sportsbook, Handle 19 is anticipating a fall launch.

The first step in the process is going through the DC Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA). So far, three bars in DC have taken steps to allow sports betting once the lottery gives the green light.
