Online Casinos in Maine

Maine does not currently offer any forms of legal online gambling. The state is close to legalizing sportsbooks, but there is no plan to regulate online casinos or poker any time soon.

The current laws in Maine do say that casinos would be penalized for trying to operate online however, there is no law stopping people from virtual gaming.

This means you don't necessarily have to worry about doing jail time for playing an online poker game at home.

Maine has two land-based casinos which are regulated by the State of Maine Gambling Control Board. Should online casinos ever become legal, the Board would monitor both online and land-basedactivity.

Oxford Casino reopened Thursday after being closed for nearly four months due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The casino reopened after the state developed new safety protocols that include allowing only 200 total guests. The guests must be split into four separate areas, with no more than 50 people per area.

The separate areas will have their own access points and slot machines will be separated by games that have been turned off to allow for social distancing.

The casino will only offer slot machines to begin with.

Oxford Casino General Manager Jack Sours said upon arrival, guests will have their temperature checked, leave their contact information for contract tracing purposes and be required to wear a mask at all times.

He said food service on the casino floor will be limited.

'Once we get opened and show we can do this in a safe and responsible manner, we hope to be able to lift those restrictions up and bring more people back,' Sours said.

Sours said he expects long lines of people waiting to enter the casino due to the capacity restrictions.
