State Senator Jeremy Miller is sponsoring a new bill that would legalize gambling on sports in Minnesota. The Winona Republican’s proposal would allow the state’s 11 tribes to have a license for on-site and mobile sports betting and puts a 20% tax on license holders which is expected to generate $80 million a year. Fifty percent of sports betting revenue would go to tax relief for charitable gambling, 25% would be used to bring major sporting events to Minnesota, 20% to enhance horse racing, 2.5% for mental health and problem gambling support, and 2.5% in grants for youth sports. Miller says the Minnesota Sports Betting Act 3.0 would build on the bipartisan momentum from last session.Â
