Sports fans in Tennessee are now able to bet on their favorite sports from the comfort of their own homes after online sports betting was legalized on Sunday, November 1.
Sunday was a monumental day for the state of Tennessee as online sports betting was legalized for the first time ever. The Volunteer State hopes to follow in the footsteps of states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Illinois, where online sports betting has been a welcome addition and has benefitted the economy significantly.
Betting went live Sunday morning. Authorized companies will now accept wagers from customers at least 21 years old and physically located in Tennessee at the time the wager is placed. So far, industry giants DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM are all taking bets in Tennessee. A number of other sportsbook brands are likely to enter the market in the near future.
Tennessee’s entrance into the online sports gambling industry is unlike any other state’s. Tennessee has no brick-and-mortar casinos and will be the first state to operate all legal sports gambling in a completely virtual format.
This is a very exciting time for anyone in Tennessee who is already interested in sports betting, or is keen to try it out. Anyone at least 21 years old and physically located in the state can open their very own sportsbook account from the comfort of their own home. All you need to do is have your mobile, computer or tablet at hand and you’re all set.
To welcome new customers, DraftKings Sportsbook is offering a Deposit Bonus up to $1000. BetMGM are offering any new customers a Deposit Match Bonus up to $500. This means that if you make a first deposit of $500, BetMGM will give you a $500 free bet to use on any sports market of your choice. Why not try out the new world of online sports betting today?
