Eight of Wisconsin’s 11 federally recognised tribes have backed a bill to legalize online sports betting and urged Gov. Tony Evers to approve it.
Assembly Bill 601, which has already passed both the State Assembly and Senate, would allow residents to place bets through mobile devices, as long as the servers that process those wagers are located on tribal land.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a letter was sent to the governor signed by Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Forest County Potawatomi Community, Ho-Chunk Nation, La Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Sokaogon Chippewa Community, St. Croix Chippewa Indians, and Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians.
