You can bet online at TwinSpires from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont, however, just be prepared to provide your social security number. Sportsbooks licensed outside these states do not require customers to provide a social security number and a good number of these do serve the fine folks of New England. BetOnline offers a generous welcome bonus (max bonus $1000).
All of those living in the New England states with the notable exception of Maine are welcome to play at TwinSpires.com. All of those living in New England, including Maine, may play on internationally licensed websites without having to provide their social security numbers.
The primary reason why Maine appears on the “no go” list for TwinSpires is that this is the only state in New England that offers horse racing venues. These include Bangor Raceway and Scarborough Downs.
Those residing in the other New England states must typically opt to place horse bets online exclusively. Massachusetts only remaining horse racing venue, Suffolk Downs, shut down for live racing three years ago.
Plainridge Racecourse does, however, feature harness racing if that happens to be your thing.
