Sports betting is now legal in Nebraska, but there won’t be any Super Bowl wagers changing hands next week, and it’s questionable whether gamblers will be able to bet on this year’s March Madness.
Nebraska Racing and Gaming Executive Director Tom Sage said sports betting technically became legal on Wednesday after the Secretary of State’s Office published recently approved rules, but there is not yet infrastructure in place at the state’s licensed casinos to take any bets.
“It’s still going to be several weeks,” Sage said.
Under Nebraska law, sports betting must take place in person in licensed casinos at the state’s horse racing tracks.
