A bill that would allow sports wagering in Wisconsin through the state’s tribes passed the Assembly on a unanimous voice vote Thursday, the final day the Assembly was scheduled to be in session.
It remains unclear if the Senate will take up the bill and send it to Gov. Tony Evers, who has voiced support for the plan.
The proposal would change the state’s definition of “bet” to allow the state’s tribes to offer mobile sports wagering if the bettor is in Wisconsin and the sportsbook servers are on tribal land, an amendment to current compacts allowing for casino gambling and sports wagering on tribal lands despite the state’s ban on betting.
