The Tennessee Sports Wagering Advisory Council met Wednesday to discuss a jam-packed agenda. The SWAC punted decisions on a few major issues, but the meeting still offered some newsworthy information.'
Notably, Fanatics Sportsbook received a mobile sports betting operator license. While the company has yet to launch a mobile sportsbook in any state, it expects to enter Tennessee’s mobile market in the near future. When pressed on if the sportsbook would be live ahead of March Madness, Fanatics Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Alex Smith replied vaguely.
“We hope you're taking bets with us very, very shortly after this meeting,” Smith said.'
A pre-March Madness launch seems unlikely, though.
