Wisconsin Legalizes Online Sports Betting

2 weeks ago
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has signed a bill legalizing online sports betting, making the state the 33rd in the nation to allow the practice.

However, bettors will not be able to place wagers immediately, as state officials must first negotiate agreements with tribal nations that will operate and regulate the system under the new law.

Supporters say the measure could generate new revenue for Wisconsin, potentially funding programs such as mental health services and efforts to address addiction.
