Senator Stan Clouse’s Legislative Bill 421 (US). A new bill proposed in Nebraska proposes legalizing internet sports wagering in the state. 

Sen. Stan Clouse introduced Nebraska’s Legislative Bill 421 to regulate the sector under the Nebraska Racetrack Gaming Act. The State Racing and Gaming Commission would be in charge of regulating the market.

Commercial casinos and racetracks would be allowed to partner with an online sports betting company. Five-year licenses would cost $5 million, and mobile wagering earnings would be taxed at 20 percent.

 Clouse: “They would be tied into the brick and mortar casinos that we have, so that they have the capacity or the structure in place where they can manage that and make sure that we are capturing the revenue, and that would be a partner with the existing casinos that have been approved by the voters and are presently under construction.

“What occurs is that everyone crosses the river to gamble on intrastate games. I mean, it isn’t stopping. So we need to see whether we can handle that in some way.” 

Last Monday, Senator Tom Brandt submitted Legislative Bill 63, which seeks to repeal the state’s restriction on in-state collegiate sports betting. Danielle Conrad and Clouse both support the bill.

Nebraska began retail sports betting in 2023. Last August, the Nebraska legislature adjourned without taking up a proposal to legalize online sports betting in the state.

And now, Nebraska’s Legislative Bill 421 seems to getting traction and might be approved.
