Lawmakers Meet to Discuss Mobile Sports Betting in Mississippi
JACKSON, MI (Gambling911.com) - This might be the last meeting of lawmakers to discuss the possibility of permitting mobile sports betting in the state of Mississippi.
This was one of the first U.S. states to legalize the activity following the abolishing of decades of prohibition by the Supreme Court in the spring of 2018. But Mississippi only permits sports gambling in designated casinos - both in Tupelo and Biloxi. Mobile betting is permitted only on the casino property.
State Representative Casey Eure last month announced he would be introducing a mobile sports betting bill, however, the legislative session is running out of time.
“I will have a bill that I will introduce. I can’t sit here and tell you that this will pass the House, that I will be able to send it to the Senate. I wanted everyone to understand where I stood from day one,” Eure said
The Mississippi Mobile-Online Sports Betting Task Force was established to debate and review the prospect of legalization.
Like with a number of states with an abundance of casinos, operators worry about losing foot traffic to mobile gambling.
What is apparently likely to be the last meeting of Mississippi's Mobile Online Sports Betting Task Force has begun. The body is studying all things online sports betting-related within the state, which has in-person wagering at casinos but no authorized mobile sportsbooks. pic.twitter.com/osvuGdh0P4

Ole Miss Likely to Compete in Peach Bowl
OXFORD, MS (Gambling911.com) - The AP Poll i usually a good indication of where teams could be ranked, with the Rebels moving up to number 11.
Louisville beating the Noles in the ACC Championship game could have the Cardinals jump above Ole Miss.
The Rebels at this time look most likely to face off against Tulane. If that were to be the case, Gambling911.com anticipates a line of Ole Miss -12.
Quinshon Judkins rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown, and No. 12 Mississippi clamped down on defense to beat rival Mississippi State 17-7 in the Battle for the Golden Egg.
“I’m really proud of our players,” Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin said. “I thought our guys played great defense pretty much the whole night. We played really well in the second half running the football and then finished well running the football. We weren’t perfect by any means. Excited to get the trophy back.”
