Indiana Sports Betting Launch Possibly Delayed

Hoosiers may have wait a little longer than expected for the Indiana sports betting launch. Gaming Commission Executive Director Sara Gonso Tait said last week that state regulators might not be ready by September 1st to allow sports betting, even though a law approved earlier this year makes it legal beginning on that date.

Tait said commission members are aiming to have everything in place to start on time but can make no promises. Indiana residents will be able to place bets by using their smartphones or at a casino, horse racing casino or an off-track betting facility, such as Winner’s Circle in downtown Indianapolis, after registering online or at a casino, racino or OTB.

The Gaming Commission will start accepting applications from casinos, rasinos and OTBs interested in offering sports betting beginning July 1st.
