About Sports Betting in Wisconsin

Have you ever placed a legal sports wager at a truck stop while surrounded by Cheeseheads? If that's on your betting bucket list, then make haste to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the Oneida Tribe offers onsite mobile betting at several truck stops it owns and operates in the area.

Federally recognized Indian tribes have a monopoly on sorts betting in Wisconsin, which, to this point, means that wagering is restricted to retail sportsbooks and geofenced apps that prohibit wagering anywhere but on tribal grounds. Will Wisconsin ever join neighboring Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan in offering a full-throated version of statewide mobile betting? There doesn't seem to be much momentum to expand offerings at present time, but one never knows.
