A South Dakota House committee has rejected a proposal that would have asked voters to legalize mobile sports betting.
Senate Joint Resolution 504 was introduced to the Senate by Rep. Greg Jamison in January, and if approved by both chambers, it would have appeared on the general election ballot in November.
Although the Senate passed the bill 23-10 last month, the House Committee of State Affairs voted 11-2 to defeat the resolution.
South Dakota voters amended the state constitution in 2020 to allow sports betting only in the city of Deadwood and at tribal casinos. Mobile sports wagering remains illegal in the state, though it is permitted in neighboring Wyoming and Iowa.
