As of March 2026, Sporttrade is not available in Delaware. The platform was a state licensed sports betting exchange that operated only in New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, Iowa and Virginia, and it wound down its United States sports betting entirely, ending account access on 26 June 2026. Sporttrade has applied to the CFTC to return as a federally regulated prediction market, but nothing is live yet, in Delaware or anywhere else.
Sporttrade was a real money sports betting exchange, regulated under state gaming rules rather than as a federal market. It only ever held licences in New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, Iowa and Virginia, so a Delaware resident could not open a funded account there even at its peak. In May 2026 the company chose to exit United States sports betting altogether while it waits on a federal decision, so the product is now closed to everyone.
Two facts point the same way for a Delaware reader. Sporttrade was never licensed in Delaware, and it has now shut its sports betting exchange across all five states where it did operate. Its planned return as a CFTC regulated prediction market is an application, not a live product, so there is nothing to open today.
Where the position is contested or moving, we say so plainly rather than guessing. A federal listing does not override every consumer rule, and your personal eligibility can still differ.
Sporttrade itself is not open to a Delaware resident right now. If you want to understand the wider category while its return is pending, these are United States regulated event contract venues a verified resident can generally reach for the non sports categories. We take no payment from any platform and place no sign up links here. Sports contracts in particular can be restricted, so confirm the specific product before acting.
These are alternative venues, not a recommendation, and not Sporttrade. Availability is indicative and sports event contracts in particular can be restricted by state. Scores are illustrative editorial examples. Confirm the current position before acting.
A clear regulator does not make a market safe to over trade. Prediction markets can lose you money. Stake only what you can afford to lose, never to chase a loss, and never on borrowed money. If it stops feeling like a free choice, step back. In the United States you can call or text the helpline on 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ncpgambling.org. You must be 18+ or the legal age in your region.
No. As of March 2026 Sporttrade is not available in Delaware. It was a state licensed sports betting exchange that operated only in New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, Iowa and Virginia, and it wound down its United States sports betting entirely, with account access ending on 26 June 2026. This is general information, not legal advice.
Sporttrade decided to exit state licensed sports betting and apply to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for designation as a federally regulated exchange and clearinghouse. It submitted that application in February 2026 and stopped wagering in its licensed states on 25 May 2026 while it waits on a decision.
It is not possible to say. Sporttrade has signalled that it wants to return as a federally regulated prediction market, which would not depend on a Delaware licence, but the application is pending and no relaunch date is confirmed. We will update this page when the position changes.
Several United States regulated event contract venues are generally available to verified residents for the non sports categories. Sports contracts specifically remain contested in many states. Read each platform's current rules and confirm your eligibility before opening an account.
The position above rests on Sporttrade's own announcements about its wind down and federal application, on the states where it actually held a licence, and on the federal framework. Confirm it yourself before you act, because the rules in this area change.
