Full section analysis

New Hampshire's gambling market is structured around a single-operator sports-wagering monopoly under RSA 287-I, with DraftKings holding the exclusive statewide online and retail licence through June 30, 2028. SB83 (2025) reorganised the regulator, renaming the former Lottery Commission the State Lottery and Gaming Commission and expressly extending its authority under amended RSA 284:21-a and RSA 284:6-a to cover video lottery terminals and historic horse racing alongside its existing racing, charitable gaming, bingo/Lucky 7 and sports-wagering remit. Online casino gaming remains prohibited, with no enabling statute in force; a 2026 attempt to legalise it via SB168 advanced through committee but stalled before session end. New Hampshire sits within the us-state jurisdiction family, where sports wagering is a matter of state-specific enabling legislation post-PASPA repeal, and enforcement layers combine state licensing authority with federal Wire Act and UIGEA exposure for any unlicensed interstate activity.
