US Sports & In-Play Technology – A Perplexing Evolution
The legalization of sports wagering, via mobile applications or at a designated parlor, is a growing and expanding phenomenon in the United States. Remarkably, 2019 alone saw three more states legalize sports wagering – namely Colorado, North Carolina, and Tennessee. With the legalization of sports betting via mobile applications being a separate entity in some cases, many bettors in ‘states where legal’ are unfamiliar with the dynamics of in-play betting, and the opportunities they offer which are unique to antepost wagering. Shown below is the comprehensive list of states where sports betting is legal and active, legal and pending, and where it is illegal. States in the latter category are divided according to the year in which they expect to have legalization in place.
