Sports betting in Minnesota

Native American tribes in the Land of 10,000 Lakers continue to be opposed to sports wagering. Republican Senator Roger Chamberlain introduced a new version of SF 1894, a bill he previously introduced on sports betting. He proposed requiring in-person registration for mobile sports wagering. Tribes continue to be concerned about how mobile sports betting would affect wagering in their physical, legal casinos. Minnesota does have legal gambling at tribal casinos, as well as a state lottery and charitable gaming, including bingo.

Republican Congressman Pat Garofalo introduced HF 1278 on sports betting in 2019, but he did not allow participation to race tracks. His sports betting was limited to wagering at tribal casinos, and all 11 Indian tribes remained in opposition.
