Top gaming officials from four ideologically different states combined forces to push for a set of sports betting priorities.

Leaders from Nevada, Michigan, Massachusetts and Louisiana issued a statement criticizing integrity fees and advocating “reasonable” tax structures. They also back allowing states and tribes to set their own rules without federal intervention.

“As experienced gaming regulators who are part of the U.S. State Gaming Regulators Forum, we would encourage jurisdictions to establish and implement regulatory models that are not only adaptive and successful, but that remain flexible enough to be sturdy, yet encourage innovation.”

Different states will enact different rules for sports betting in the next few years. They still need to have systems in place to identify problems that would affect some or all of them.
