Hundreds of companies tied to the sports gambling industry in Indiana will no longer need to be licensed with the state after July 1.
That’s because of a change by the Indiana Gaming Commission prompted by Gov. Mike Braun’s executive orders.
Shortly after taking office, Braun ordered all state agencies to eliminate any licensing requirements deemed duplicative or burdensome, and not in the public or industry’s best interest.
One such rule identified by the Indiana Gaming Commission requires “sports wagering registrants” to be licensed with the state. Such companies provide goods or services related to the sports gambling industry, but aren’t directly involved in taking bets or managing wagering accounts.
