Governor Janet Mills Delays Sports Betting in Maine
Maine Governor Janet Mills has not signed the sports betting bill which was passed by both chambers of the Maine legislature.
“Governor Mills didn’t affirmatively veto the bill, which means there is still hope. However, unless the legislature calls a special session lasting longer than three days and the Governor doesn’t affirmatively veto it, then sports betting will have to wait. This is baffling for Maine consumers and the sports betting industry,” Steve Silver, adjunct professor of gaming law at the University of Maine School of Law said.
Members of the Senate voted 19-15 in favour of the bill, which would allow individuals over 21 to place bets on sports events across the state. LD 553 would also allow bets to be placed at physical locations like casinos and through mobile phones and online.
