Gambling in the USA
Sports betting soon to be legalised in Indiana

Indiana is all set to jump into the bandwagon of US states that legalise sports betting. The legislative study committee that was appointed to study the possibilities has submitted its report. The committee unanimously recommends that the 2019 General Assembly should consider the possibility of legalising sports betting in the state.
The report suggests that casinos should be the only authorised to offer sports betting, as well as off-track betting facilities owned by the two central Indiana horse track casinos. The report also recommends remote mobile-based betting (at casinos).
“Giving the customer a lot of choices is what we would expect to see,” Vice President of Government Relations at the industry testing company Gaming Laboratories International Kevin Mullally said as he backed mobile betting as an option for the potential segment. “From a regulatory perspective, mobile wagering actually offers regulators many more tools to know the customer, to follow the money and to have data on a very transactional level,” he added.
State Sen. Ron Alting, who chairs the Senate Public Policy Committee, advanced he fully expects a proposal for legalised sports wagering to be filed at the Statehouse in January. “You definitely need to dot your I’s and cross your T’s on this,” he said and stated: “We don’t want to write ‘a’ bill, we want to write the best bill.”
