Rick Perry, a former governor of Texas, is urging the state to allow sports betting in order to reduce illegal wagering and raise more money through taxes.
Only a few types of gambling are currently permitted in Texas: the state lottery, charitable gaming, and restricted tribal bingo.
Perry, who is a member of the Sports Betting Alliance and favors the legalization of mobile sports betting in Texas, thinks that it is time for sports betting to also be subject to regulation.
