The final language for two petitions aimed at legalizing and regulating online sports betting in Nebraska has been approved and the petitions are now ready for circulation.

Lynne McNally, government relations director at WarHorse Casinos, which has backed the petition, said circulators will start collecting signatures soon.

“If you’re a citizen interested in signing the position, you should see somebody out and about within the next week or two,” McNally said.

The petitions will be at major events, the post office and at WarHorse casinos in Omaha and Lincoln, as well as at the state’s other casinos: Grand Island Casino Resorts, Harrah’s Columbus and Lake Mac Casino Resort in Ogallala, she added.
