New research commissioned by a group petitioning to legalize online sports betting in Nebraska found that doing so could generate just under $87 million in new state tax revenue over five years.
Assuming that 70% of generated revenues would be distributed as property tax credits, the same as for voter-approved casino gambling, this could translate into roughly $61 million in additional tax relief over the same period, independent research firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming found.
Tax Relief Nebraska is currently petitioning to put the option of legalizing online sports betting on the ballot in 2026. Jordan McGrain, a petition sponsor, said the effort is ahead of schedule in its signature gathering.
