Mississippi is moving fast on the debut of sports betting law following the US Supreme Court decision this week, publishing regulations proposed by the Mississippi Gaming Commission and declaring that a 25-day window for public submissions.
The proposals could see the nation’s 28 licensed land casino operators offering sports betting as early as July this year, according to local media accounts, and include provisions for cellular devices used on casino premises, and wagering deposits to account casino property.
Interestingly, the proposals do not include the “integrity fee” that US sports leagues are trying to squeeze from state authorities on the recently liberalised sports betting scene.
Mississippi lawmakers ensured that the state has a head start on sports betting by passing relevant laws earlier this season, before the US Supreme Court decision, but contingent on its findings (see previous reports).
