With a law to limit online parimutuel wagering on greyhound racing set to take effect in Oregon on July 1, one of the country’s leading advance-deposit wagering companies has discontinued betting on dog racing entirely.
In an email to customers this week, TVG, part of the FanDuel group, announced, “Due to an upcoming legislation change, we will no longer offer wagering on greyhound races starting Monday, April 4.”
The legislation referenced is almost surely SB 1504 in Oregon, which, among other things, essentially bans greyhound racing in the state but allows online wagering on dog races “unless wagering on live greyhound racing is unlawful in the jurisdiction of the individual’s principal residence.”
