South Carolina lawmakers weigh online sports betting bill with 12.5% levy
South Carolina lawmakers are considering Senate Bill 444, which would establish a state wagering authority and permit up to eight licensed online sports betting operators, reportedly. The proposal would tax betting revenue at 12.5%; Governor Henry McMaster has opposed gambling expansion and is expected to veto the bill if it reaches him.
Operators would face a proposed limit of eight licences and a 12.5% levy if South Carolina approves the bill.
