An online sports betting platform with a twist
The state of Tennessee in the United States of America is getting ready to launch their online sports betting platform and will become the 18th state in America to have legalized online sports betting. However, Tennessee’s online sports betting comes with a twist as the state is the only one without brick-and-mortar gambling. Its casino-free landscape means Tennessee does not require possession of a retail gambling license as a precondition for an operator license, a common qualifier in other states. Moreover, the state's online sports gambling regulator, (Tennessee Education Lottery Corp.) has set a 90% cap on payouts which has sparked an array of controversy. Several experts deemed this as an anomaly and an unprecedented move in the United States. Tennessee's Sports Gaming Act became law on July 1, 2019.
