A coalition of the nation’s biggest players in online sports gambling and Ho-Chunk Inc., the economic development arm of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, are feeling out the state’s appetite for legalized online sports gambling.
FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM and Caesars have partnered with Ho-Chunk to commission a public opinion poll gauging Nebraskans’ interest in a potential amendment to the state’s constitution that would allow bettors in the state to place sports bets online.
Lance Morgan — the CEO of Ho-Chunk, the parent company of WarHorse Gaming, which operates physical sportsbooks in Lincoln and Omaha — confirmed Wednesday that his company and its partners are behind the poll, which began circulating Monday and will wrap up this week.
