Tennessee

The state of Tennessee allows sports betting and mobile online wagering. Its 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.

The “Tennessee Sports Gaming Act” became law on May 25, 2019. The new law allows for statewide mobile sports betting without any brick-and-mortar anchor. Under the new law, all bettors must be at least 21 years old.

Sports betting is virtually non-existent in the South, with Mississippi and Arkansas allowing in-person sports betting without providing mobile apps. Therefore, sports betting in Tennessee can become a geographical hub for the mobile wagering in the South and can prompt discussion in neighboring states about the potential for change. If sports betting is welcomed and loved in the Volunteer State, this could pave the way for neighboring states toward legalizing sports betting in the future.
