- Players Club
- Deposit match bonus

Delaware Park: Delaware Park has operated an online casino and poker site since the state went live in 2013. It will be perfectly positioned to run an online sportsbook if betting goes legal.
Delaware Park already runs an online rewards program for its casino players and this should roll over to the sportsbook. In addition, Delaware Park has a tradition of running daily offers for customers across its casino and poker room.
Harrington Raceway: Harrington Raceway & Casino has a retail sportsbook in operation – Murphy’s Race and Sports Book – where you can place bets on pro and college sports, plus horse racing and golf.
The casino runs the Players Club which offers VIP savings and benefits such as credits and discounts. We expect the online Harrington Raceway sportsbook to offer similar perks.

Retail Sportsbooks to Visit in Delaware
Sports betting in Delaware is dominated by three casinos, each with its own retail sportsbook:
- Delaware Park (Monday-Saturday 11 am-11 pm; Sunday 10 am-11 pm)
- Dover Downs (Bally’s Dover Race & Sports Book: Monday–Friday 12 pm–9 pm; Saturday 11 am-9 pm; Sunday 10 am–9 pm)

Wagering tends to cover daylight hours only. Place bets in the casino itself or visit self-service machines down by the track.

You simply fill out parlay cards to place multi-leg bets on sports of your choice.
