Wisconsin is expecting to take action soon when it comes to legalize Online Sports betting & Online Casino
Wisconsin online sports betting
In 2019 Wisconsin began the unenviable job of putting together a proposal that would recommend the introduction of sports betting. The state has long had a anti-gambling stance despite being home to 26 tribal casinos.
The tribal contracts with the state outdate later legislation that banned gambling. This means that new contracts would need to be drawn up with the tribal nations if sports betting was to be legalized.
It will be difficult but we forsee the potential of sports betting taxation eventually pushing the state over the line when it comes to sports betting.

Online Sports Betting in Wisconsin
It is still going to be a while, if it happens at all, but the state of Wisconsin has taken its first steps along the long and winding road to legal sports betting.
The main issue is that the state has anti-gambling legislation embedded into its laws which means that they need a complete overhaul if they are going to open their market to sportsbooks.
In late 2019, state lawmakers began to discuss how this process could be done, signalling that the state was interested in potentially introducing some form of legal sports betting.
There are two factors which will be weighing on the state's mind when it comes to legalizing sports betting. The first is that with Illinois now offering online sports betting, residents of Wisconsin's largest city, Milwaukee need only make the short trip over the border and they will be able to wager on their mobiles.
This presents a second problem and that is of lost potential state revenue in the form of sports betting taxes. If residents of Wisconsin are betting in other states, then those states will be reaping the benefits.
These two factors make us relatively certain that the state will eventually legalize sports betting. However, to please the anti-gamblers they may have to promise that sports betting taxes will go to worthwhile projects such educational progams.
