The US sports betting industry will have its eyes on multiple states on Election Day, not just the likely failures in California.
While Prop 26 and Prop 27 for California sports betting drew almost $500 million in one of the most expensive ballot measure races in history, both efforts are almost guaranteed to fail, according to polling.
However, outside of California, multiple elections Tuesday could have an influence on the future of US sports betting.
Could Texas join legal US sports betting?
With California’s doomed efforts likely pushing any legalization potential out to 2026 or beyond, the industry will shift attention to another giant: Texas. The Texas Sports Betting Alliance is already bullish on its chances next year.
