The Wyoming Gaming Commission approved a series of online sports wagering rules on Monday, setting the stage for the launch of mobile sports betting across the state.
Wyoming’s mobile-only framework for sports wagering compares favorably with the infrastructure in Tennessee, which prohibits betting through retail sportsbooks. When Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon signed HB 133 into law in April, he became the first governor to legalize sports betting in his respective state during the 2021 calendar year.
Although the state must issue a minimum of five licenses, a cap for a maximum number of licensees has not been set. The commission intends to begin issuing licenses before the start of the NFL regular season on Sept. 9.
