Lawsuit Challenges Constitutionality of Wisconsin's Online Sports Betting Law

Lawsuit Challenges Constitutionality of Wisconsin's Online Sports Betting Law

A lawsuit has been filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty on behalf of the Brown County Taxpayers Association and Citizens Defending Liberty, challenging the constitutionality of Wisconsin's new online sports betting law. The law, approved in April by the Wisconsin Legislature and Governor Tony Evers, allows online sports betting with servers located on tribal lands. The lawsuit argues that this law violates a 1993 state constitutional amendment that prohibits the legislature from authorizing gambling, except for specific exemptions. It also claims the law breaches the equal protection clause by limiting online sports betting to tribal lands.
