We aren’t that far past the halfway point in the calendar year 2019, but most states have wrapped up their respective legislative sessions for the year. Just five states with Sports Betting legislation on the table for consideration have active sessions.
It’s been a busy year so far, with the likes of Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, Tennessee, and Maine all passing some form of legislation this year. By year’s end, there could be a dozen states with active sports wagering markets. A handful kicked off betting in 2018.
We’re approaching 20 states with either active Sports Betting or awaiting sportsbook openings.
The year is far from over for some states. Here’s a look at who is still in play.
The Bay State held hearings in late May on Sports Betting, and there was progress with regard to the proposal to allow stand-alone online/mobile Sportsbooks. The state is home to Boston-based DraftKings, and the governor has backed a plan to allow online/mobile books untethered to a b&m casino. It appears that stakeholders are less at odds than they were previously, boosting the chances of passage this year. However, it’s still far from a sure bet.
