Taxpayers take on Wisconsin online sports betting law
The Brown County Taxpayers Association and Citizens Defending Liberty sued Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers over a law legalizing online sports betting operated by tribal nations, alleging the law is unconstitutional and racially discriminatory. The law, Act 247, permits mobile sports betting if conducted on tribal land and aligns with tribal gaming compacts, but plaintiffs argue it violates a 1993 state constitutional amendment banning gambling and discriminates by granting exclusive benefits to tribal nations.
