Nebraska online sports betting
It took until 2020 for Nebraska to begin the process of legalizing sports betting. This was no doubt after feeling the pressure from all around its borders.
Iowa and Colorado already have legal online sports betting and South Dakota, Missouri, and Kansas are all on the brink of legalizing sports betting.
Nebraska would simply not want to see potential tax revenue spill out of the state to its neighbours. That is why we expect a sports betting bill to be passed in 2021.

Online Sports Betting in Nebraska
Unless Nebraska acts soon, they will become surrounded by states that have legalized sports betting. Since mobile wagering will also be allowed in most of those states, all that you would beed to do is cross the state line and place a bet on your mobile.
This means there would be little logic in going against the grain; all that would happen is that the state of Nebraska would lose out on potential tax revenue. A large segment of Omaha, for example, is actually in Iowa.
So the question is not so much will the state legalize sports betting but when and how?
We expect that since the 2020 legislative window has passed, we will see Sen. Justin Wayne eager to get a bill over the line in early 2021.
It looks like online sports betting may not be included in the first bill, but there will be an option to allow this at a later date.
