Utah Senator Orin Hatch to Introduce Sports Betting Legislation
One of the original authors of legislation banning sports betting across the USA plans to introduce a new bill that would regulate the activity at the federal level.
Utah Senator Orrin Hatch said he understands the reality of legalized sports betting following the Supreme Court's ruling that abolished his previous prohbition.
From Betting USA:
“Prohibition is not a possibility or prudent path forward. Instead now that states are free to legalize sports betting, our goal should be to bring that illegal wagering activity into well-regulated legal markets that better protect consumers and the integrity of sports.
“Sports betting is inevitable. Let’s make sure it’s done right. To do it right, we need to make sure that state regulatory frameworks are not a race to the bottom. I firmly believe that we need a set of fundamental federal standards that will integrity the integrity of the games, that will protect consumers and the sports wagering market.”
