Oklahoma Senate committee advances two sports betting bills
Oklahoma's Senate Business and Commerce Committee approved HB 1047 and HB 1101 last week, advancing proposals for sports betting in the state. HB 1047 would give tribes exclusive rights subject to a 10% state fee; HB 1101 would put the question to voters if HB 1047 fails or is vetoed, the report said. Both bills require further legislative action.
Operators and tribes face proposed rules that could reserve Oklahoma sports betting to tribal entities and impose a state fee.
