A Vermont lawmaker is considering filing a law that would legalize online wagering. Sports Handle obtained a draft of the bill but didn’t say which legislator was the author.
According to the draft, which hasn’t yet been filed, the state’s Board of Liquor and Lottery would regulate the mobile wagering, with six mobile platforms authorized. Operators would need to go through a competitive bidding process to qualify for one. As part of their bidding, applicants would name their preferred tax rate.
The bill does not appear to address retail wagering. If adopted, Vermont would become the third state to have digital-only wagering. The others are Wyoming and Tennessee.
