GAN, the developer and supplier of B2B internet gambling software, services and online gaming content in the US, has welcomed the signing and legalisation of internet sports betting in Maine.
Maine is now the 15th State to legalise sports wagering in the US and the seventh to do so this year. Upon launch, 21 per cent of the total US population will be able to place sports wagers online.
The sports betting bill received approval in both the House and Senate on Friday, June 21. It will now go to the governor who is expected to sign it within the next two weeks.
With one of the lowest initial licence fees, which have been set at US$2,000, the state could possibly begin issuing licenses in late September. Moblie and online wagering tax rates have been set at 16 per cent, compared to 10 per cent for retail.
