Nebraska could soon become the next state to legalize online sports betting.
The committee organizing petitions to legalize and regulate online sports betting, Tax Relief Nebraska, said it’s on track to turn in enough signatures to make the November ballot.
At WarHorse Casino in Lincoln, customer Norm Moyer of Friend, Nebraska, said he supports the initiatives. If online sports wagering makes the ballot, he’ll vote yes.
“I think everybody should have the right to,” Moyer said.
Whether people can bet online should be up to the individual, he said. Fellow WarHorse patron Chad Harper, of Palmyra, said he signed the petition, “to keep the money here in Nebraska — to keep as much of it focused here and in our communities.”
