Nebraska and Virginia push for online betting partnerships
What happened
Nebraska voters are considering Initiatives 440 and 441, which would permit online sports wagering through licensed racetracks. These measures would allow licensed racetracks to partner with online betting companies such as DraftKings. Separately, Virginia has two local votes that could clear the way for additional horse-racing wagering venues.
