Oregon permits online sports betting through the state lottery, but not state-licensed online casino games or real-money online poker. Tribal casinos and land-based poker rooms exist, while internet casino/poker offerings remain unauthorised.

| Prediction markets | Restricted | Oregon treats non-lottery online betting as unlawful gambling under ORS 167.108–167.127 and ORS 167.109 (internet gambling ban), with Kalshi sued in federal court in 2026. |
| Mystery boxes | Unregulated | Set nationally. Unregulated federally; FTC 2025 settlement required loot-box disclosures, but no U.S. law/regulator has classified paid mystery boxes or loot boxes as gambling. |
