🚨BREAKING: Today we sent a letter to @GovEvers urging him to sign Assembly Bill 601, legalizing sports betting in Wisconsin. The move would boost tax revenue, support casinos, and provide safeguards for responsible play. Our letter below.👇

NEW: Gov. Evers indicates it's no sure thing he'll sign the online sports betting bill the Senate passed yesterday. "We have to have all the tribal nations involved...I am very concerned about the fact that, apparently, not all of the tribal nations are with this."

"Not opposed to gambling. I met my wife at dog track . . . Until we have in place protections to make sure people don't follow down a black hole, it's a good time to pause." Sen. Chris Larson (D) speaking in opposition -MORE-

BREAKING: The Wisconsin Senate has passed the NIL bill that includes an annual $14.6 million payment to UW-Madison that frees up sports revenue funds to pay NIL deals to athletes. Seven Republicans opposed the bill, which passed very narrowly 17-16.

Here is the vote.
