The Oklahoma Senate has passed a bill to legalize mobile sports betting in the state, which has been referred for engrossment before moving to the House…
SB 585, introduced by Sen. Bill Coleman, will allow licensed Native American tribes to accept in-person bets and mobile bets on tribal land. Meanwhile, one designated professional sports team will be permitted to sign an agreement with a tribal approved operator for online sports betting on non-tribal land.
The text of SB 585 is very specific, only allowing a professional team in the state participating in the NBA to receive a license, paving the way for the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team to partner with a sportsbook operator.
