The senate tax committee has voted to double the proposed tax rate in relation to legalizing Minnesota sports betting in the North Star State.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The proposal would see the tax rate increase from 10% to 20%. The bill – SF1,949 – has now gone through six senate committees. It will now go on to the senate finance.<\/p>\n

If it passes that, sports betting will take a step closer to being legalized. However, similar legislation has gone down this road before and been thwarted in the senate.<\/p>\n

The state of Minnesota is one of few in the United States that still holds a strong stance on not legalizing sports betting. With that said, the news of the voted tax hike means residents have been provided fresh optimism.<\/p>\n

In fact, many believe that sports gambling could be legalized later this year. The US Supreme Court ruled that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 was unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

Naturally, this saw a flurry of states rush to legalize sports betting. Now, it only appears to be a matter of time before Minnesota follows suit.<\/p>\n

Can Sports Bets Be Placed In Minnesota?<\/h2>\n

As it stands, Minnesotans are able to place sports bets via offshore sportsbooks such as Bovada or BetOnline. Furthermore, horse racing was legalized in the early 1980s and continues to be a favorite for keen bettors in person.<\/p>\n

It was only last year that Minnesota provided a fresh push to legalize more robust sports betting opportunities. On that occasion, it failed to make it out of committee in the House or out of the Senate.<\/p>\n

The main reason the legislation in Minnesota is facing several sticking points is due to who gets control of sports gambling in the state.<\/p>\n

Also, it’s a case of deciding how the revenues would be split between the American Indian tribes and the state’s two horse tracks \u2014 Canterbury Park in Shakopee and Running Aces in Columbus.<\/p>\n
