While Mississippians archaically still have to visit a casino to place legal bets on sports, even online bets, there is some progress toward changing that. A report from a special task force on the premise of expanding legal online sports betting to become available all over the state is now public.
The task force’s report presents several models for how Mississippi could tax expanded online sports betting and projections for tax revenue. At this point, it remains uncertain which of them the state legislature will adopt or if it will embrace any of them.
Currently, online sports betting in Mississippi is legal but with one huge caveat.
