The Oneida Casino's sportsbook operation has been open for betting for a little over a week now, and many people have already started placing bets. The Oneida Casino is the first place in Wisconsin where you could place a bet on a sporting event legally. These bets can be placed on teams like the Green Bay Packers, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Brewers, and others. Chad Fuss, the Gaming CFO for the casino, describes what it took to make betting on events legal.
Fuss explained that some of the inspiration behind having discussions to make this betting legal came from hopes of drawing in more tourists to the area. Betters have already started casting their predictions for future events like sporting championships. Sporting events are not the only kind of events that betters can vote on, with Nationally streamed award shows on the list of things to bet on.
