South Carolina is expecting to take action soon when it comes to legalize Online Sports betting & Online Casino
South Carolina Sports Betting
The state of South Carolina has so far resisted passing any legislation that would legalize sports betting in the state. However, the 2019 bill was a case of too much too soon.
The bill would have allowed for both retail and online sportsbooks. In short, the state would have gone from no sportsbooks to any number of them.
The state legislature just couldn't agree on how the bill would be implemented. However, the introduction of the bill shows there is a will. We expect a new amended proposed bill to be introduced to the 2021 legislative session with some restrictions on how sports betting will be implemented and licensed in the state.

Online Sports Betting in South Carolina
It came as somewhat of a surprise when South Carolina's state legislature considered a sports betting bill in the 2019 legislative session.
The session ended up without an agreement, however the fact that it was considered showed that the state was not as against the idea as many had previously expected.
The bill was not considered in 2020, however, we expect to see an amended bill to be proposed in 2021. One motivating factor is the fact that North Carolina offers sports betting at retail outlets and crucially, Tennessee looks like they will soon allow online sports betting. South Carolina will not want to see potential sports betting tax revenue go to the Volunteer State. Even if the two states do not share a land border, it won't take long for residents of Spartanburg, Greenville or Anderson to make the short drive over to North Carolina's border with Tennessee.
