Delaware lawmakers propose up to six additional online sportsbooks
Delaware lawmakers introduced House Bill 365 to let each of the state’s three video lottery operators partner with up to two online sportsbooks, according to reports. The proposal sets an 18% tax on adjusted gross receipts, with at least $400,000 or 3.5% of tax collected, whichever is greater, assigned to problem gambling programmes. The bill was referred to the House Administration Committee.
The proposal could expand sportsbook partnerships and direct part of Delaware’s tax revenue to problem gambling programmes.
