Make Online Sports Betting Fair in Wisconsin

Support Competition and Consumer Choice for Online Sports Betting

The Wisconsin Legislature has fast-tracked legislation that skirts the state constitution to expand gaming across the entire state. The backroom, secretive deal would block well-known and well-vetted brands like FanDuel and DraftKings from being used by Wisconsinites. Further, this deal would severely limit the size of the Wisconsin sports betting market and dramatically reduce the potential tax revenues for the state.

Both houses have fast-tracked legislation this week, hoping their backroom deal can be pushed through the process without public scrutiny.
Senate Bill 592 / Assembly Bill 601 circumvent the state constitution, preventing Wisconsin citizens from voicing their opinions about the future of expanded gaming in the State.
There’s also a financial impact. Online gaming would bring Wisconsin an estimated $400 million in revenue over the next five years that would disappear if political leaders have their way and this secretive bill becomes law.
This backroom deal not only fails to benefit Wisconsin taxpayers but also prevents marketplace competition and limits consumer choice. We’ve all heard of nationally recognized sports betting companies who are well-known and well-vetted. They would be prohibited from participating in the marketplace under the current deal.

National brands like FanDuel and DraftKings provide trusted platforms for fans to enjoy legal sports betting and online casino gaming, strengthening local economies and adding millions of dollars in new state revenue.

Help us send a message to the politicians in Madison – a rushed deal only benefiting a few is not good for Wisconsin. Help us demand an open and transparent process around online sports betting and oppose SB592/AB601 in its current form. States across the country are having the conversation, we should too.

I’m writing to ask for you to oppose SB592/AB601 as the bill fails to benefit Wisconsinites by preventing marketplace competition and limiting consumer choice. By limiting who can participate in the marketplace for online sports betting, this bill fails to allow consumers like me the ability to access the platforms of nationally known brands. I urge you to oppose SB592 and work to stop this fast-tracked legislation.

I’m writing to you in opposition of SB592/AB601 as this fast-tracked legislation circumvents the state constitution and fails to benefit taxpayers. Online sports betting could bring an estimated $400 million in revenue over the next five years if legalized properly. Unfortunately, the secretive, backroom deal to fast-track this legislation only benefits a select few. There should be an open and transparent process to make online sports betting legal in Wisconsin.

I am writing to you to ask for you to oppose SB592/AB601. If Legislators are serious about legalizing online sports betting in Wisconsin, there should be a more open and transparent process that includes well-vetted brands like FanDuel and Draft Kings. This fast-tracked legislation prevents public scrutiny and regulatory oversight. I hope you will oppose SB592 and allow for a more open and transparent process to legalize online sports betting in Wisconsin.
