2022/04/29
Sports fans in Texas have been waiting on pins and needles for years to see if the state will ever legalize sports betting. That wait lives on, and it will continue until at least November 2022, when the next major elections are held and the matter is expected to be voted on.

Legal Sports Betting in Alabama Remains a Longshot
2022/04/29
Alabama has long been notorious for its opposition to any form of gambling and is the only state east of the Mississippi River to now offer any sort of lottery.

South Carolina Lawmakers Move to Legalize Sports Betting
2022/04/29
A renewed effort to legalize sports betting is underway in South Carolina. A bipartisan bill sponsored by Rep. William Herbkersman (R) and Rep. Todd Rutherford (D) was introduced in South Carolina in late April, reviving efforts to add the Palmetto State to the growing list of states embracing online legal sports betting in the USA.
The trend toward legalized sports betting was sparked in 2018 when the United States Supreme Court struck down a federal law banning sports betting in most jurisdictions across the country. In the wake of that groundbreaking decision, over 30 states have taken steps to open their doors to both retail and online sports betting, including South Carolina’s two neighbors, North Carolina and Georgia.
