Maine Sports Betting – How to Bet Today
Maine’s retail sports betting market is extremely limited. As of the latest verified reporting, there is only one operational in‑person sportsbook in the entire state:
Oddfellahs Sportsbook & Bar in Portland, which operates through a Caesars Sportsbook partnership.
Additional retail locations (casinos, racetracks, OTBs) exist, but none of them currently operate a licensed retail sportsbook; they offer only horse racing and simulcast wagering.
