Georgia senate passes sports betting bill

Sports betting is now legal in Georgia thanks to a bill that the Senate approved.

The senators, nevertheless, decided that a constitutional amendment would be necessary for the bill to become law before it could be signed into effect, even though they had voted to approve it. The backing of a minimum of 38 senators who have expressed scepticism regarding the bill's potential passage is necessary for this.


Legislators have been unable to agree on what kind of additional gambling should be made available in the state, which has caused similar problems to arise in previous attempts to increase legal gambling.
