WASHINGTON — While sports betting in the nation’s capital is legal, officials are not expected to launch the D.C. sports betting app by the end of May.
Their website is what is going to be launched in May while mobile applications are expected to come in early June.
The application must be ready to go live once major sports return to online sportsbooks as some sports have already seen a return.
“While we recognize there will be a limited number of events to wager on, this ‘soft launch’ will provide us with an opportunity to roll out the GambetDC website to potential players in the District in preparation for the return of sports — The D.C. Lottery is excited to launch GambetDC, which will modernize our product portfolio and assist in our mission to maximize the revenue returned to support the District’s vital programs and services — The website will be available to the general public with this release. The native iOS and Android apps will be unveiled in early June,” said Nicole Jordan, director of marketing and communications for the lottery.
