Sports betting at Nebraska racetracks could launch next month after a key administrative hurdle was cleared Friday.
Members of the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission approved the master list of sports on which people will be allowed to bet.
The list is called the “Sports Wagering Catalog.” It includes popular leagues like the NFL and NBA, but also some more niche sports like collegiate water polo, pro rodeo and the World Surf League.
The list is quite detailed, for instance, not just listing Major League Baseball, but also specifying that gambling will be allowed on spring training, the regular season, postseason, All-Star Game, All-Star Game Home Run Derby, and All-Star Game MVP.
