The fate of daily fantasy sports (DFS) in Mississippi now lies in the hands of State Gov. Phil Bryant.

Voting 46-6, the Mississippi legislature has approved a measure which will pave the way for the proper regulation of DFS in the state.

Daily Journal reported that the bill now awaits for the signature of Bryant.

Under House Bill 967, empowers the Mississippi Gaming Commission to regulate fantasy sports contests online or in casino – including the conduct of a background check and annual audit on DFS operators and the issuance of state license.
