Official US Sports Betting Bill Tracker Thread

[KVB]

Everyone's favorite network, ESPN, has a Legalization Homepage, and a Betting Bill Tracker that is updated by state.





Right now only one state is rated as "unlikely"...Utah...

Utah's anti-gambling stance is written into the state's constitution. Any change to existing state policy toward gambling would be a massive departure from decades of opposition to any form of gambling, including lottery tickets, table games and sports betting.

Other states are at varying stages.

Let's see how this evolves.

[Biff41]

Utah has several cities near the Nevada Border, probably no need to legalize.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Great thread. If anyone can add what the states are wanting in return that be very informative as well. I know here in PA just for a license fee it was 10 mil plus 36% of the win per book. So far zero have applied

[beefcake]

I live in NC and it might be a while before our backassward legislature even considers it.However the Harrahs casino in Cherokee might be a different story.Any idea how these indian casinos might move on this?

cmon florida let's get it done

On the Nov ballot in Fl there will be a vote on Amendment 3, which will be to either let the people have all future votes on gambling in the state or leave it up to the st representatives. IMO, it will be better to have amendment 3 pass letting the people have all future votes on all gambling. For one it will take away the power of the Indian Tribes in the state other than on their property, and the politicians in the capital.

Its going to be a long road in FL on sports wagering, either way the politicians in Tally are not going to be for it, and if amendment 3 passes, then it would be 2 years at the earliest before the people would get a vote on it, not to mention everything will take 60% of the vote to become law by vote.JMO

later

A lot of these bills may wait until after the election. One of the lawyers on Twitter brought up a good point, the politicians are going to hold out for campaign money from the sports betting stakeholders and then pass it after the election.

[KVB]

The map looks the same.

New York failed to pass a bill by the time the legislators left but they swear it's not dead, just in a "coma."

They blame Indian Tribes and the governor's lack of support. This bill was just for racetracks and tribal casinos as four commercial casinos already have the green light in New York.

Pretlow didn’t think the legislature’s lack of movement on the bill was a red light to the New York State Gaming Commission that is working on regulations for sports betting at the four commercial casinos that were authorized for the activity when they were approved in 2013. He expects they will be able to offer sports betting sometime this year, before tribal casinos and racetracks.The four casinos:

• del Lago Resort & Casino
• Tioga Downs Casino
• Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady
• Resorts World Catskills

However, without the mobile betting that would have been established in this bill, he doesn’t expect many New Yorkers will venture upstate to place bets at these commercial casinos when it’s closer for them to go into New Jersey, where sports betting already began and mobile betting will exist. The Meadowlands near NYC already has plans to offer sports betting, and NJ mobile wagering will

New York intends on writing in the integrity fee the next time the bill is examined.

Considering the Big 4 have their corporate offices in NYC (and therefore likely have had lobbyists embedded in Albany for years), I'm not surprised.

Ouch!!

[KVB]

We have a change in the map.

New York and RI have turned blue...


Rhode Island...

On June 22, 2018, Gov. Gina Raimondo signed the state budget, which included language allowing sports betting. Only two locations -- one in Lincoln and one in Tiverton -- would be allowed to offer sports betting.

The state's lottery would oversee the process and Oct. 1 has been suggested as a likely start date. Only bets placed in-person would be allowed at the two locations, as the new law does not provide for mobile betting

New York had a bill from 2013, failed to pass the statewide bill, but promises they are working on regulations.

In 2013, New York passed a law to allow sports betting at four on-site locations. After lying dormant for the past five years, the law could be revived and put into action after the Supreme Court's decision in the New Jersey case. The New York State Gaming Commission is aiming to complete regulations "in the short term" for the four locations specified in the 2013 law. Legislation that would have allowed for full-scale sports betting in New York failed in June 2018, but could be re-introduced in 2019.

[jjgold]

PA blue but casinos do not want it because of fees and taxes

They know not worth it because of small hold

1 slot machine better than 200 sport bettors

Imagine a full Vegas-type casino in Manhattan(or at least a horse, sports and e-gaming site), with mobile app allowing all visitors.
The legislators would have all the money they ever needed for whatever pet project...even Universal Basic Income for all New Yorkers.
But...even more than corrupt, they are plain stupid.

Man the money is in mobile and online it’s not walk up business, 90% will not even come close to a Las Vegas sports book in appearance and comfort

It will take time for sure Gold.

Maybe we see some activity pick up after the midterm elections.

Betting shops have become a dinosaur niche thing down here too. Their time has passed.

NJ needs to have pub and sportsbar venues, where the locals operate from, with legal terminals to get people excited about it.

Optional offering a glimpse of the future, in markets where it's already happening.

I bet they end up with machines in bars, just taking in money and spitting out tickets. Even then, margins will be tough if States are going to gouge for some cash.

This is pretty typical of what works best here, for offline.

We have this weird system of lots of local sporting clubs that get tax incentives to support local grass roots sports, which also gives them the right to operate slots and other gambling to raise money.

So there are thousands of clubs like this one local to me that have a sports bar plus multiple restaurants, gyms, massive kids play areas, sports fields to watch live games on site, slots and electronic table games, bands and shows etc. Basically a place the whole family can go that isn't just for male degens.

That's the style venue NJ regulators should be looking to find a way to license IMHO.

[jjgold]

That place looks nice can Bet American horse racing in Australia

All the legal horse racing books take Australia action every night
