After a long December, there’s little reason to believe this year will be better than the last for online casinos and sports betting legislative efforts.
Few states enter 2024 with the momentum it takes to pass gaming legislation in a presidential election year. Gaming attorney Jeff Ifrah told PlayUSA:
“Legislators typically don’t want to take up gambling issues in a presidential election year, so we’re very likely not going to see any new states legalize iGaming in 2024. We’ll see legislation proposed and we may see some ballot measures, which will probably lead to some states coming on board in 2025.”
For most states, 2024 will be a set-up year for gambling legislation.
