✴️ Montana sports betting legislation ✴️
—————————————————————-
Montana has become the ninth US state to legalize sports betting, although local bettors may chafe at the new policy’s limitations.
On Friday, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock signed a bill approved by the state’s House of Representatives authorizing licensed bars and restaurants to offer sports betting via electronic kiosks as well as through mobile apps that will only work within the confines of these venues. The plan is to have legal wagering activated before the next NFL season kicks off in September.
Wagering technology will be provided by Montana Lottery’s tech partner Intralot, which was recently awarded similarly monopolistic (and highly controversial) control over sports betting in the District of Columbia.
Bullock vetoed a different wagering bill passed by the state Senate that would have allowed a more competitive market with multiple betting providers. Bullock’s signing statement said the Lottery model “builds on existing infrastructure and is projected to return significantly more revenue to taxpayers.”
However, while Bullock maintained that “Montana needs to enter the sports wagering market conservatively,” he said he expects the state legislature will “assess the status of sports betting in our state and, if appropriate, entertain different and additional models” two years from now.
✴️ Tennessee governor to allow sports betting ✴️
——————————————————————————
Despite being opposed to the legalization of gambling, Gov. Bill Lee says he will allow a Tennessee sports betting bill to become law without his signature.
After a vote of approval last week in the House of Representatives, the Senate on Tuesday passed legislation that would permit online sports gambling beginning July 1, while continuing to prohibit the practice at brick-and-mortar locations.
Senate Bill 16 narrowly passed on a vote of 19 to 12, as it did in the House 58 to 37. Afterward, the House even more narrowly adopted some minor Senate amendments with 51 votes.
“The governor has said he does not believe that the expansion of gambling is best, but he recognizes that many in the legislature found this to be an issue they want to explore further,” said Laine Arnold, Lee’s press secretary. “He plans to let this become law without his signature.”
