The Governor’s plan will prohibit wagers on the individual performance of student-athletes, coaches, referees, player injuries, and prop bets at the college level.
Tribes will be able to add it onto their existing infrastructure, and Oklahomans can access it right from their phone.” “Thirty-five states have already legalized sports betting, and it’ll be a great revenue stream for the state. “I promised Oklahomans if we pursued sports betting, we would do it right- and this plan does just that,” said Governor Stitt. Additionally, the plan protects Oklahoma’s student-athletes by prohibiting prop betting and bets on individual student-athlete performance.
The plan would also allow Oklahomans to place bets on their mobile devices on a sportsbook licensed by the state. The Governor’s plan, which would allow Oklahomans to place in-person bets at gaming sites operated by federally recognized tribes, would protect tribal investments in brick-and-mortar facilities. Today, Governor Kevin Stitt announced his plan to make sports betting a reality in Oklahoma.
