The first online sportsbook to launch in Puerto Rico is BetMGM. Nearly four years have passed since Puerto Rico authorized both offline and online sports betting before the platform's launch. Anyone who is at least 18 years old can legally bet on professional and collegiate sports through Puerto Rico's online sportsbooks from any location on the island. However, before using a retail sportsbook users must physically sign up there. The need for in-person registration is intended to ensure that only users who are at least 18 years old have access to the internet sportsbooks.
