Wyoming finally legalizes online betting

Gambling News and Lucky Stories

Sports betting is legal in Wyoming. The corresponding law, adopted by the State General Assembly (the bicameral legislature of the region), was signed by the governor. The provisions of the document are expected to come into force on September 1, 2021. The regulation of betting is entrusted to the Wyoming Gambling Commission. Players will be able to replenish their deposits with cryptocurrency, various checks, credit cards, money transfers. To accept sports betting – and they can only be online – in Wyoming will be able to legally operate bookmakers that legally provide their services in at least three other states. The operator will have to pay 100,000 and 50,000 dollars for obtaining and renewing the corresponding license, respectively. Betting companies will pay a tax – 10% of the income received from online bets. Part of the money from betting – while we are talking about 300 thousand dollars every year – the authorities will direct to the treatment of gambling addiction. Wyoming’s online sports betting revenue could reach $449 million annually, according to the state gambling commission. As My Lucky Story reported, in the state of Maine, lawmakers decided to repeat the attempt to legalize sports betting. Earlier it became known that in Georgia the consideration of the bill on the legalization of mobile betting in the state was postponed. Recall that the state legislators took up the rules of gambling in Nebraska.
