Roobet Vermont searches land on the newest and smallest legal sports betting market in New England. Vermont didn't have an online betting law until 2023, didn't launch until January 2024, and even now runs on exactly half the operator slots its own statute allows. None of that arithmetic has anything to do with Roobet — its answer for Vermont was already decided, years before Vermont wrote a betting law at all. This page runs the numbers on both.

Is Roobet Legal in Vermont? The Short Math

No. Roobet's Terms of Service have named the United States, Vermont included, an Excluded Territory since 2020 — a blanket policy applied the same way to every state regardless of what that state licenses. Vermont's own law, Act 63 (H.127), signed by Governor Phil Scott on June 14, 2023, hands licensing authority to the Department of Liquor and Lottery and caps the market at six online sportsbook operators. There is no retail betting window anywhere in the state — Vermont has no commercial or tribal casino to tether one to — and there is no license category of any kind for an offshore crypto casino.

The number that stands out: six licenses were available. Vermont issued three. DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics Sportsbook were selected on December 13, 2023, and launched together on January 11, 2024. BetMGM and ESPN Bet both applied for the remaining slots and were turned down. As of August 2026, the other three slots are still unused.

Why Only Three, When the Law Allows Six

Vermont's Board of Liquor and Lottery ran a selection process, not a first-come registration — operators applied, and the Board chose. DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics cleared it. BetMGM and ESPN Bet did not, and neither has resubmitted a successful bid since. The practical result is a market about half the size the statute technically permits, run entirely online with no physical sportsbook location in the state at all. It is, by design, one of the leanest legal betting markets in the country — and still nothing Roobet participates in, licensed slot open or not.

Is Roobet Legit? Is It Safe for Vermont Players?

Judged on the players it actually accepts — everywhere outside the US, UK, and Australia — Roobet holds up by the usual measures: operating since 2019, a current Curaçao Gaming Authority license under Raw Entertainment B.V. (OGL/2024/687/0427), a claimed ten billion bets processed, and RooWards rakeback that pays out with no rollover. A Vermont account never gets far enough to test any of it — the Excluded Territory block ends things at signup.

Safety follows the pattern it does everywhere a VPN gets involved: it violates Roobet's own Terms of Service, and Roobet can demand identity verification before releasing a withdrawal — exactly the point a Vermont address surfaces and a balance can be frozen for the violation the VPN created. Vermont's own gambling code is old and mild by comparison: 13 V.S.A. §2141 fines an individual bettor between $10 and $200 for winning or losing money by wager, while the heavier penalty — up to six months and a $500 fine under §2134 — targets someone keeping a gambling house, not a player working around a geo-block.

Vermont's market, by the numbers: 6 licenses allowed, 3 issued, 0 retail sportsbooks, 0 legal online casinos, 1 launch date (January 11, 2024) for all three operators at once. Roobet's number in that market is the same as it is everywhere else in the US: zero.

No Online Casino Path, Either

Act 63 covers sports betting only. Vermont has no iGaming legislation moving and none has come close to passing — the state simply has no commercial or tribal casino industry to attach an online casino license to in the first place. That matters for how the Roobet question gets asked here: there is no licensed Vermont online casino to compare Roobet's slots and Crash against, legal or not. The comparison Vermont can actually make is narrower — sportsbook to sportsbook — and Roobet isn't in that market either.

Who This Page Is Actually For

  • Vermont bettors curious about the three-operator market: DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics Sportsbook are the entire legal field, all online-only, all launched the same day.
  • Anyone weighing a VPN: the withdrawal-stage risk is the real cost; Vermont's own statute is a minor add-on next to it.
  • Players outside the US: Roobet remains a real, Curaçao-licensed casino with Crash and thousands of slots — this page just isn't answering for that audience.

Vermont built a small, deliberate sports betting market and left half its own license cap on the table. Roobet's exclusion has nothing to do with any of that math — it was set nationwide in 2020 and hasn't moved since. Nothing here is a way to make money — it is a legal status check. 21+ only.
