Maine has legalized online casinos run by its four Wabanaki Nations, but none has launched yet, and the first are expected in early 2027. Until then, Mainers who play casino games online for real money use offshore sites. We’ve timed 40 payouts at 30 offshore casinos that take US players, the fastest in 12 minutes; none of the 29 whose terms we could read names Maine. Below: our top 10, what the coming Maine apps will offer, every payout we’ve timed, the bonuses, how to cash out and the nearest casinos.
By Mark Taylor, Chief Editor · Payouts timed by CasinoWhizz · Updated These are the offshore casinos we recommend for Maine players. Each card shows the fastest payout we’ve timed at that casino, how many payouts we’ve timed there and when we last tested, alongside the welcome offer. Maine’s coming state-licensed apps are covered further down.
Worth a look for a bigger deposit bonus with our VIPBONUS code, a payout under an hour, poker, or a casino and sportsbook on one balance.
About these numbers: fastest payouts are real crypto withdrawals from our own accounts. Notes on timing: Wild Casino’s 38 min (start of the clock not recorded); MyBookie’s 14 min (start of the clock not recorded). Every test is in the payout ledger below, what each casino’s terms say about Maine is in our check further down, and full bonus terms and crypto limits are in the table just below.
18+ at most of these casinos (21+ at MyBookie); Maine’s own minimum age for casinos, online casinos and sports betting is 21. Offers are for new players and come with each casino’s own terms. MYBWHIZZ is our exclusive code at MyBookie, and VIPBONUS at CasinoMax and Cherry Jackpot. We may earn a commission when you sign up through our links; it never changes a payout time or our Maine check.

Maine’s online casino bill, LD 1164, became law on January 11, 2026 and took effect on July 29, 2026. Only the four Wabanaki Nations can run online casinos: the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, the Mi’kmaq Nation, the Passamaquoddy Tribe and the Penobscot Nation, each with one license and no more than one operator partner. Caesars has signed with three of them and plans Caesars Palace Online Casino and Horseshoe Online Casino, pending approval; the Passamaquoddy Tribe hasn’t named a partner yet. Oxford Casino and Hollywood Casino Bangor can’t run online casinos of their own.
No Maine online casino takes players yet. The Gambling Control Unit is still finishing the rules: comments on its third draft closed on October 30, 2026. If it accepts big changes, a fourth draft goes out for comment; if not, it can adopt the rules, which then need the Attorney General’s approval. Launch is expected in early 2027, with no date set. When they open, you’ll need to be 21 or over and in Maine to play. Poker is allowed in the law, but no Maine poker site has been announced.
| Maine online casino (when live) | Offshore casino in our top 10 | |
|---|---|---|
| When | Expected in early 2027; no date set | Open to Maine players now |
| Who runs it | A Wabanaki Nation with one partner, such as Caesars | Run from abroad; not licensed by Maine |
| Who can play | 21+, and only while you’re in Maine | 18+ at most (21+ at MyBookie) |
| How you pay | No credit cards, by law | Crypto in and out; every payout in our ledger arrived in crypto |
| Bonuses | Each app’s own offer | Big crypto matches, such as 410% with our code VIPBONUS at Cherry Jackpot |
| Self-exclusion | Maine’s self-exclusion list is set to apply | Each casino’s own limits; the state list doesn’t reach them |
| If a payout goes wrong | The operator is licensed and overseen by the Gambling Control Unit | No state help, so pick a casino with a payout record |
| Our payout tests | None yet; the apps aren’t live | 40 payouts timed at 30 casinos, the fastest in 12 minutes |
We read each casino’s own terms. None of the 29 casinos in our ledger whose terms we could read lists Maine. They don’t all say it the same way: some publish a full list of excluded states, some restrict countries only, and some publish no list at all.
| Casino | Maine | What its terms say |
|---|---|---|
| Wild Casino | No list published | Refers to a list of restricted states that it doesn’t publish. |
| MyBookie | No list published | Leaves it to you to check that playing is legal where you live, and publishes no list of states. |
| Super Slots | No list published | Refers to a list of restricted states that it doesn’t publish. |
| Ignition | Not restricted | Excludes 5 states: Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York. Maine isn’t one of them. |
| Slots.lv | Not restricted | Excludes 5 states: Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York. Maine isn’t one of them. |
| Cafe Casino | Not restricted | Excludes 5 states: Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York. Maine isn’t one of them. |
| CasinoMax | Not restricted | Lists restricted countries only; no US state is excluded. |
| Cherry Jackpot | Not restricted | Lists restricted countries only; no US state is excluded. |
| BetOnline | Not restricted | Lists restricted countries only; no US state is excluded. |
| Bovada | Not restricted | Excludes 19 states and DC: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia. Maine isn’t one of them. |
Of the other casinos in our ledger, BetWhale, BoVegas, Cherry Gold and Shazam publish state lists that leave Maine off, and the rest restrict countries only or publish no list. Love2Play’s terms page wouldn’t load for us, so check its sign-up form. A casino can change its terms at any time, so look again before you deposit.
Online sports betting and daily fantasy sports are legal and live in Maine. Online casinos are legal too, but only for the Wabanaki Nations, and none has launched, so for now every real money casino site open to Mainers is offshore. We found no case of a player being prosecuted for playing at one. What you give up is protection: the Gambling Control Unit says people use unlicensed sites at their own risk and it can’t help with disputes, so stick to casinos with a payout record, like the ones above. We’re not lawyers, and this isn’t legal advice.
No. A law signed on April 6, 2026 makes casino-style sweepstakes sites illegal in Maine from July 29, 2026, and most of them have stopped taking Maine players. We don’t list sweepstakes sites on this page.
Each row is one real withdrawal from one of our accounts, at the casinos in our ledger whose terms don’t name Maine. The clock starts when we press withdraw and stops when the money reaches our wallet; where a test was timed differently, the row says so. These were timed from US accounts, not specifically from Maine. Filter by speed or coin, or download the ledger.

40 payouts in the ledger.
Every payout here went out in crypto. For best and slowest times at each casino and a guide to pending withdrawals, see our instant withdrawal casinos page.
Crypto payouts are public. Here are two of ours on Etherscan, with the time, the amount and the fee. The sender shows as a third-party service, so the casino’s name doesn’t appear, which is normal.
Card deposits at offshore casinos are often declined, and these casinos rarely pay out to cards anyway. Crypto is the route that works both ways, and it’s how every payout in our ledger arrived.
| Method | Deposit | Cash out | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | Yes | Yes, our fastest was 14 minutes (start of the clock not recorded) | No casino fee on Bitcoin payouts at BetOnline, MyBookie, Super Slots, Slots.lv, CasinoMax or Cherry Jackpot (CasinoMax and Cherry Jackpot charge 25% if you withdraw a deposit you haven’t wagered once). |
| Litecoin | Yes | Yes, our fastest was 12 minutes | Cheap and quick. Wild’s Litecoin payouts are free. |
| Cash App | Buy Bitcoin in Cash App and send it | To your Cash App Bitcoin address | Cash App is the wallet here, not a casino payment method. |
| MatchPay | At Ignition and Cafe | $10 to $2,000 at Ignition and Cafe | Peer to peer; the other player may settle it by Cash App. |
| Cards | Likely declined | Rarely offered | Use crypto instead. CasinoMax and Cherry Jackpot can pay to their own prepaid Blue Rewards card. |
| Bank wire or courier check | Rarely | Days to weeks, with fees | CasinoMax and Cherry Jackpot charge $25 for a wire and $50 for a check. |
Pick a casino and an amount. The tool combines our payout times with the casino’s published limits, so you can see how many requests a big win needs.
At Wild Casino, $1,000 by Bitcoin fits in one request (up to $100,000 each). Our Wild Casino payouts took 38 minutes and 4 hours 12 minutes. Wild aims to process crypto within 24 hours.
Uses our own payout tests and each casino’s published crypto limits and processing times, as recorded in our reviews. Limits can differ by VIP level or coin, so check the cashier before a big request.
Maine has two casinos, both 21+ with slots and table games: Oxford Casino Hotel in Oxford, with 946 slot machines and 22 tables, and Hollywood Casino Hotel & Raceway in Bangor, with 621 slot machines, 12 tables and harness racing. Distances are rough road miles from downtown, so check a live map before you go.
| From | Casino | Where | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portland | Oxford Casino Hotel | Oxford (21+) | About 45 miles, just under an hour |
| Portland | Encore Boston Harbor | Everett, Massachusetts (21+) | About 100 miles, 2 hours |
| Lewiston and Auburn | Oxford Casino Hotel | Oxford (21+) | About 14 miles, 25 minutes |
| Augusta | Oxford Casino Hotel | Oxford (21+) | About 44 miles, 1 hour |
| Augusta | Hollywood Casino Bangor | Bangor (21+) | About 67 miles, 1 hour 30 minutes |
| Bangor | Hollywood Casino Bangor | Downtown (21+) | About 1 mile |
| Biddeford | Oxford Casino Hotel | Oxford (21+) | About 1 hour |
| Bar Harbor | Hollywood Casino Bangor | Bangor (21+) | About 47 miles, 1 hour 10 minutes |
| Presque Isle | Grey Rock Casino | Near Edmundston, New Brunswick (19+); bring a passport or passport card | About 61 miles, 1 hour 20 minutes |
| Presque Isle | Hollywood Casino Bangor | Bangor (21+) | About 159 miles, 2 hours 50 minutes |
Southern Maine is also within reach of New Hampshire’s charitable gaming rooms, such as The Brook in Seabrook, about 65 miles from Portland, with poker, table games and historical racing machines. New Hampshire’s minimum age is 18, but rooms can set their own.
Online sports betting is legal in Maine for players 21 and over, and like online casinos it’s run by the tribes: DraftKings, with the Passamaquoddy Tribe, and Caesars Sportsbook, with the other three Wabanaki Nations. Both launched on November 3, 2023, and Oxford Casino also has a sportsbook. Bettors in Maine wagered $59.9 million on the two apps in September 2026, according to the Gambling Control Unit. You can’t bet on games involving Maine college teams or on high school games. Daily fantasy sports are legal at 18. Offshore, BetOnline, MyBookie and Bovada put a casino and a sportsbook on one balance.
Tax rules depend on your situation, so check with a tax professional. The IRS guide to gambling income and losses and Maine Revenue Services have the details.
We deposit our own money, play through any terms, then time the withdrawal from the moment we press withdraw until the money reaches our wallet. For this page we also read each casino’s terms for any list of restricted states and checked the welcome offers on the casinos’ own sites where they would load. Our Maine facts on the law, taxes and distances come from official and news sources, and we date the page when we update it. More in our editorial policy.

Online sports betting and daily fantasy sports are legal and live. Online casinos are legal too, but only the four Wabanaki Nations can run them, and none has launched yet, so the real money casino sites open to Mainers are offshore and not licensed by Maine. We found no case of a player being prosecuted for playing at one. This isn’t legal advice.
No date is set. Comments on the Gambling Control Unit’s third draft of the rules closed on October 30, 2026. If it makes no big changes, it can adopt the rules, which then need the Attorney General’s approval, and launch is expected in early 2027. Caesars plans Caesars Palace Online Casino and Horseshoe Online Casino with three of the tribes.
Yes, at offshore casinos that take Maine players, though none is licensed by Maine, so you have no state protection if a payout goes wrong. None of the 29 casinos in our ledger whose terms we read lists Maine as a restricted state.
Wild Casino is our first choice, for Bitcoin payouts of up to $100,000 a request. It has paid us in 38 minutes (start of the clock not recorded), and its other timed test took 4 hours 12 minutes. MyBookie paid us in 14 minutes (start of the clock not recorded) and adds a sportsbook.
In our Maine top 10, MyBookie paid in 14 minutes, Wild Casino and BetOnline in 38 (MyBookie’s and Wild’s tests aren’t dated and the start of the clock wasn’t recorded), and Cafe Casino $457 in USDT in 57 minutes. The fastest in our whole ledger was Casino Extreme, at 12 minutes.
No. Maine banned casino-style sweepstakes sites from July 29, 2026. We don’t list sweepstakes sites on this page.
Yes. Winnings are Maine income, taxed at up to 7.15% in 2026, plus 2% on income over $1 million, and losses help only if you itemize on your federal return. On your federal return you can deduct only 90% of your losses starting with 2026, unless Congress reverses the change.
Oxford Casino Hotel in Oxford, about 45 miles away, or a little under an hour’s drive. Hollywood Casino Bangor is about 2 hours away, and Encore Boston Harbor in Massachusetts about 2 hours.
Two apps take bets: DraftKings and Caesars Sportsbook. You must be 21 or over and in Maine. Oxford Casino also has a sportsbook.
Not directly. Buy Bitcoin in Cash App and send it to the casino, then withdraw to your Cash App Bitcoin address. Ignition and Cafe also offer MatchPay, which the other player may settle by Cash App.
Set a budget before you play, and treat an offshore balance as money you can afford to lose. For free, confidential help in Maine, call 211 or text your ZIP code to 898-211. Maine’s self-exclusion program lets you bar yourself for 1, 3 or 5 years or for life from Maine’s casinos, sports betting apps and fantasy sites; you can sign up in person, at a virtual meeting or through a betting app. It doesn’t reach offshore sites, so use each casino’s own limits and self-exclusion too. The national 1-800-MY-RESET line is also open 24/7. Our responsible gambling guide has more.
