Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and leaders from the state’s 11 federally recognized tribes have begun discussions on the next steps toward legal online sports betting.
The governor met with tribal leaders at the state’s Capitol on June 1, following the enactment of a new sports betting law in April, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The meeting was the first since the legislation was signed in April, and, according to Evers’ office, discussions focused on the process for changing tribal gaming compacts, which must be renegotiated to allow online sports betting to launch in Wisconsin.
Evers reiterated his support for a model that would enable tribes to contribute to and benefit from online sports betting operations equally.
