Nebraska’s online sports betting campaign has raised nearly $21.7 million this election year, with major sportsbooks adding more than $7 million in recent weeks as supporters make their final push before the Nov. 3 vote.
Recent campaign finance reports show Tax Relief Nebraska, the organization backing the sportsbook legalization measure, received just over $7 million in additional contributions after Sept. 29. This brings its reported total election-year fundraising to $21.675 million.
FanDuel and DraftKings, the nation’s largest online sportsbooks by market share, supplied most of the new money. Fanatics, another major revenue leader, also increased its investment.
The committee’s regular report, covering Sept. 30-Oct. 19, disclosed just under $3 million in contributions: $2.5 million from DraftKings on Oct. 13 and $425,000 from Fanatics on Oct. 2.
