Mississippi’s Mobile Sports Wagering Bill Heads to the Senate
February 2, 2024
On Jan 30, Rep. Eure’s mobile sports betting bill passed out of the House Gaming Committee, and on Feb 1, the full House passed the bill as amended. (The amendment can be read here.)
Some key components of the bill are:
- 26 licenses tied to the state’s casinos
- remote registration, and
- 12% tax rate.
If passed, the bill has an effective date of July 1, 2024.
The bill now heads to the Senate. While it is a good sign that this bill moved through the House quickly, the key has been – and continues to be – getting the Senate on board.
