Alabama is expecting to take action soon when it comes to legalize Online Sports betting & Online Casino
Alabama Sports Betting
It might be a generous application of the phrase 'expecting action' but the reality is that Alabama is slowly becoming surrounded by states that allow some form of gambling, and with a number of proposals already filed it can surely only be a matter of time before the conservative state warms to the idea.
State legislature has already rejected four proposals to legalize sports betting. In 2020, HB301 was introduced as a fifth attempt. In short - the issue is not going away.
Louisiana and Mississippi have already legalized sports betting and Tennessee is close to allowing it. Florida and Georgia expect to pass a bill in the next two years. So, it will only be a matter of time before the state of Alabama will pass some of bill.
