The Mobile Sports Bill
Alaska looks to tax mobile sports betting
Mobile Sports Wagering; Tax
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let people bet on sports on their phones and would charge a tax on the betting companies' earnings.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Supporters say the tax will bring money to the state and the licensing checks keep operators honest; opponents warn easy betting can lead to more gambling problems and the tax may be passed to players.
