Lawmakers are advancing two bills that could bring legal sports wagering to the Sooner State \u2014 but not without a fight from Governor Kevin Stitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/america\/oak-view-group-planned-to-develop-a-20000-seater-arena-on-a-vacant-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oak View Group planned to develop a 20,000-seater arena on a vacant site<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>House Bill 1047<\/strong>, led by Rep. Ken Luttrell, proposes a framework that would allow tribal casinos exclusive rights to offer in-person and mobile sports betting, with a 10% revenue share going to the state. Backed by the <strong>Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association<\/strong>, the bill recently passed the Senate Business and Commerce Committee with an 8-1 vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/separa-tu-maquina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/mgDiamond-banner-1024x785.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67285\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, <strong>Governor Stitt<\/strong> has made it clear he will veto any bill granting exclusive control to tribes, preferring a free-market model that would invite commercial operators. This position has reignited tensions with tribal nations, who argue that their existing gaming compacts \u2014 which generated <strong>$210 million for the state in 2024<\/strong> \u2014 already grant them exclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/america\/oklahoma-controversial-gambling-compacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oklahoma: controversial gambling compacts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To sidestep the looming veto, lawmakers introduced <strong>House Bill 1101<\/strong>, a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; strategy that would place the question directly on the 2026 statewide ballot, allowing Oklahoma voters to decide. A similar approach led to the legalization of the state lottery in 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/oklahoma-showdown-lawmakers-push-tribal-sports-betting-bills-as-governor-stitt-threatens-veto2-1024x615.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/oklahoma-showdown-lawmakers-push-tribal-sports-betting-bills-as-governor-stitt-threatens-veto2-1024x615.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/oklahoma-showdown-lawmakers-push-tribal-sports-betting-bills-as-governor-stitt-threatens-veto2-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/oklahoma-showdown-lawmakers-push-tribal-sports-betting-bills-as-governor-stitt-threatens-veto2-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/oklahoma-showdown-lawmakers-push-tribal-sports-betting-bills-as-governor-stitt-threatens-veto2.jpg 1299w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts estimate that legalizing in-person betting could generate <strong>$140 million annually<\/strong>, and including mobile betting could triple that to <strong>$420 million<\/strong>, offering a potential <strong>$14 to $42 million in new state revenue<\/strong>.
