Currently, there are several states where there is legalized sports betting. These states include Arizona, Connecticut, Colorado and Tennessee. Depending on the state, sports betting may be available on the Internet or in person.
Legalized sports betting in Arizona
Earlier this year, Arizona officially legalized sports betting. Governor Doug Ducey signed House Bill 2772 into law. The bill allowed 20 online and retail sports betting platforms to operate in Arizona. It also gave professional sports teams and Native American tribes the right to operate sports betting facilities in the state.
The first two months of sports betting in Arizona were quite lucrative. In September, the state’s nine mobile operators reported $777 million in wagers. That blew away the US record of $600 million set in August. In October, the state’s two retail sports betting venues reported $777 million in wagers. This set a new record among the six states that have legalized sports betting.
Legalized sports betting in Colorado
Currently, there are 26 licensed sportsbooks that offer online betting in the Centennial State. Some of the most popular collegiate and pro US sports are available. Most of these sportsbooks also offer mobile apps.
In the first year of legalized sports betting in Colorado, casinos registered more than $3 billion in sports bets. The state has a low barrier to entry, making it a desirable location for sports bettors.
Colorado is currently one of the most popular sports betting markets in the United States. Its casinos are based in Central City, Black Hawk, and Cripple Creek. In addition to the casinos, several nationally recognized sports betting brands have launched in Colorado. These include FanDuel, BetMGM, and BetRivers.
Legalized sports betting in Tennessee
Until now, Tennessee had not allowed in-person sports betting. However, with the advent of online sports betting, it is now legal to wager on sports. Legal sportsbooks in Tennessee are regulated by the state. You can choose from a variety of sites, and they provide great promotions and bonuses.
Many of these sites have embraced e-wallets such as Skrill and PayPal, which make it easy for you to deposit and withdraw money. However, it is important to check the fees associated with the payment method you choose. Some credit card companies will decline the transaction if you use it to deposit at an online sportsbook.
Legalized sports betting in Connecticut
Several bills have been passed to legalize sports betting in Connecticut. They include HB06451 and SB146. SB146 is a bill that signals the future of online sportsbooks.
The bill will allow for the legalization of online gambling, including sports betting. This bill will allow for the state to create a regulatory framework for sports betting. It will also allow for remote registration.
Online sports betting sites will be able to offer their services in Connecticut. This will allow Connecticut residents to place wagers from any internet-enabled device. It also allows offshore sportsbook sites to operate in Connecticut.
