The Mississippi House has once again pushed forward bills to establish an online mobile sports betting program in the state. The House recently passed two Senate bills, one related to coastal tidelands boundary and the other increasing fines for companies participating in illegal sports betting. The House’s original mobile sports betting bill was added to both pieces of legislation in committee last week. House Gaming Chairman Casey Eure expressed willingness to negotiate on the topic and was willing to sacrifice some of the original intent of the Senate bills. The bills passed the House with a comfortable majority, signaling progress in the effort to establish online mobile sports betting in Mississippi. This move by the House indicates a potential shift in the state’s approach to sports betting, which could have significant implications for the industry in Mississippi. The bills now move on to the Senate for further consideration. The House’s decision to incorporate mobile sports betting into existing legislation reflects a strategic move to advance the issue while addressing other important matters. As the debate continues, stakeholders will be closely watching to see how the Senate responds to the House’s actions and what impact it may have on the future of sports betting in Mississippi.
