Delaware To Legalises Sportsbetting

The Senate passed legislation last week by a vote of 17 to two with two abstentions that legalised sportsbetting before Governor Jack Markel.

The new legislation permits players at Delaware’s three casinos to place wagers on sporting matches with the state getting 45 percent of any revenues.
