Oklahoma Sports Betting Bill Stalls in the State Legislature

Details: Category: Gambling Industry; Created: Saturday, 13 July 2024 02:49

The Oklahoma sports betting bill has hit a roadblock in the State Legislature, primarily due to Governor Kevin Stitt and the state’s tribes' inability to compromise. Matthew Morgan, chairman of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association, noted that despite the governor's backing, there is a distinct lack of enthusiasm for legalizing sports wagering in the state.

Morgan further highlighted that the 25 member tribes in his association have not seen any sincere efforts from state authorities to engage them in this matter. He also pointed out that sports betting offers poor profit margins. According to bookie pay per head experts, the tribal chiefs would be open to negotiating a contract within the boundaries of their current compacts. However, they are not interested in signing additional compacts or taking on more financial risk.

The US sports betting landscape changed significantly in 2018 when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. This act had long prohibited state-sponsored sports gambling, with a few exceptions. The court's decision came after years of unsuccessful attempts by Republican politicians to legalize sports betting. In November, Governor Stitt surprised legislators and tribes with his proposal to make it legal.
