KEY TAKEAWAYS Industry sources told SBC Americas that the DC Council could still pass a bill that legalizes DC iCasino and bans sweepstakes casinos before the end of 2026. The Council’s published calendar leaves three legislative meetings this year, and the bill still sits in the Committee on Human Services six months after its only hearing. Passage would add iGaming to a DC sports betting market that only opened to competition in 2024 after four years of a lottery-run monopoly. Washington, D.C. might not wait until 2027 to legalize online casinos.
