In Legal Terms: Online Gaming - a podcast by MPB Think Radio

If you could bet online or from your phone – which is against the law now in Mississippi – what would you gain? What could be the detriment? That’s what our legislature is considering now and we have a member of their taskforce on the show today – Professor Ron Rychlak. https://law.olemiss.edu/faculty-directory/ronald-j-rychlak/

Is internet gambling legal? No. Internet gambling is illegal under state law. Online sites may advertise they are “legal” and “licensed” forms of gaming. They may be legal or licensed where the bets are received, but it is illegal to place bets from Mississippi with these businesses.

Do you know what all sports you can bet on? Some are:

• In Yacht Racing, the International Sailing Federation sanctioned events
• The Olympics - Approved List to be sent from MS Gaming Commission
• Japan Nippon Professional Baseball and Korean Baseball League

The MS Gaming Commission has a form:

 “REQUEST TO OFFER WAGERS ON EVENT OTHER THAN A HORSE RACE, GREYHOUND RACE, OR ATHLETIC SPORTING EVENT “

What would you like to bet on? I wonder what has been approved and what’s been disallowed!
