Indiana lawmakers have filed a bill for the legalization of sports betting, hoping to accept license applications by October.
Representative Alan Morrison, in filing House Bill 1363, proposes a 6.25% tax on gross gaming revenue (GGR) for in-person bets placed, to be remitted every month.
A rate for mobile and online bets is not given in the bill. Unlike other states’ mobile betting provisions, the House bill doesn’t require prior in-person registration.
According to news outlet Sports Handle, State Senator Jon Ford, proponent of a similar bill, has pushed for a 6.75% tax rate on revenues, like in Nevada.
