‘Folks will continue to illegally gamble’: House speaker blasts Senate for not passing mobile sports betting
SUMMARY: Mississippi House Speaker Jason White criticized the Senate for blocking a bill to legalize mobile sports betting, arguing it would eliminate illegal online gambling while benefiting the state’s economy. The Mississippi Mobile Sports Wagering Act, which had strong support in the House, was allowed to die in the Senate Gaming Committee, with Senator David Blount expressing concerns that it wouldn’t benefit Mississippi’s existing gaming industry. The House proposed measures to partner mobile betting platforms with local casinos and tax revenues for infrastructure. White believes the ongoing legislative impasse reflects poorly on leadership and risks prolonging the debate on gambling legislation in Mississippi.
