Oneida Casino launches sports betting in Wisconsin
The Oneida Business Committee and Oneida Casino Senior Management will hold a ribbon-cutting today.
US.- Sports Betting will begin today (November 30) at Oneida Casino, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. A ribbon-cut ceremony will be held in the morning. It comes after Wisconsin governor Tony Evers and the Oneida Nation signed an agreement in July to allow sports betting at the tribe’s casinos and associated locations.
The Oneida Business Committee and Oneida Casino senior management will hold a ribbon-cutting to open the doors to the first Sports Betting operation among the 11 Wisconsin tribes with gaming compacts.
The Oneida Nation said in a statement: “The opening of Sports Betting has been delayed, initially games were slated to begin in September but due to slow delivery of all the systems, the date was pushed to November. The equipment has been delivered, installed, and games are ready to roll.”
When the governor Tony Evers and the tribe signed the deal to allow sports betting at tribal casinos, Evers said: “This is only the third time the compact has been amended, and it will be the first time that event wagering will be permitted in Wisconsin in recent history.”
