Nebraska casino operators file initiatives to legalise online sports betting
Nebraska casino operators filed two ballot initiatives seeking to legalise online sports betting, according to a report citing Lynne McNally, a campaign director. One proposal would allow betting through casinos linked to licensed horse racing tracks; the other would direct tax revenue to the cities and counties where bets are placed. Organisers must meet signature thresholds for the measures to qualify for the November ballot.
The proposals could create an online sports betting market in Nebraska and set its tax allocation.
