Wisconsin lawmakers are preparing to revisit legislation that would permit online sports wagering through the state’s tribal casinos, with an Assembly vote expected early this year.
While Assembly leaders anticipate action soon, the timing of a Senate vote remains uncertain. The proposal would allow the state’s native tribes to offer mobile sports wagering by changing the state’s definition of the term ‘bet.’ Currently, in-person sports and casino betting are allowed but only when present on tribal land.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Majority Leader Tyler August, a co-sponsor of the bill, have said that the proposal is back on track after being removed from the Assembly calendar late last year.
