LAST UPDATED: Saturday June 6th 2026

DC sports betting is live, but it's far from perfect. The lone legal District-wide mobile app, GamBetDC, is run by the lottery and, partially because it has no legal competition, has offered lines worse than market averages. The app is also geofenced out of any federal properties, a major problem in the nation’s capital. The city’s first retail sportsbook was opened in Capital One Arena. The sportsbook at Capital One Arena is operated by Caesars and allows mobile wagering only within the stadium. A few miles to the south, BetMGM struck a similar partnership with the Washington Nationals. Its retail sportsbook opened Feb. 1, 2022 at Nationals Park. Its mobile app too, is available within a two-block radius of its retail location. Overall, D.C. hasn’t generated much from sports betting because of issues with the GamBetDC app and limitations put on other operators. People living in DC who are looking for action on sports can also play Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) if they are frustrated with the limitations of mobile betting in DC.
