Oregon Sports Betting Live at Chinook Winds

Oregon sports betting is officially off and running ahead of the NFL season… at least at the Chinook Winds Casino. The move comes as the Oregon State Lottery plans to launch a new online feature, but that won’t be up and running for several more weeks. Right now, betting with Chinook Winds is only available in person at the casino.

The casino did a soft open earlier this week that featured former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Ed ‘Too Tall’ Jones putting $5 on the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl this season. Shortly after, bets were open to the public.

The Oregon Lottery says it is weeks away from taking sports-betting statewide with its Scoreboard app feature. The feature will allow users to place bets on professional sports —it will not take wagers on college sports— from their phones. Users must be at least 21 years old, and while they don’t have to be an Oregon resident, the do have to be in state, according to lottery officials.
