The Washington State Gambling Commission (WGC) has warned industry players against hedging bets on any state-wide sports wagers arising in 2020.
Although tribal sports betting was legalised in Washington in March by state governor Jay Inslee (in-person sports wagering on casino properties are permitted) state-wide mobile betting aren´t. While customers will be able to bet on professional and college teams, sports wagers on Washington State college teams remain prohibited.
Tribes control the Washington gambling industry, with 29 casinos run by 22 tribes across the state. Four tribes have started renegotiating their compacts to include sports wagering, and two more have requested to do so, but the WGC has warned that these negotiations take time.
Additionally, regardless of the speed with which the WGC handles licensing and regulatory changes, no sports betting can take place until all tribal compacts are revised.
