Montana does not currently accept bets on LIV, but it plans to do so soon, according to a state lottery representative.<\/p>\n
We are planning on adding LIV in the near future,\u201d<\/strong> Deputy Director Bryan Costigan told Casino.org<\/em> in an email.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nLIV is specifically included among approved leagues in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Washington and Wyoming. New Hampshire and Connecticut also allow LIV bets under current regulations, officials said.<\/p>\n
Newly Legal States Mull FutureRules<\/strong><\/h2>\nRules are still being written in newly legal states such as Kentucky, North Carolina and Vermont, and officials in those states told Casino.org that they have not yet decided whether to allow wagering on LIV.<\/p>\n
LIV is certainly a topic of conversation, especially since the proposed merger,” Hans Stokke, Director of Sports Wagering at the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, told Casino.org<\/em> in an email. “We\u2019ve got a list in mind, but we\u2019ll be gathering feedback from our service providers once they\u2019re licensed. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\nIn those states without a specific catalog of approved events, LIV generally appears to be acceptable, but the availability of betting lines varies.<\/p>\n
In New Hampshire, for example, wagers can be placed on any event with a verifiable outcome generated by a \u201creliable and independent process\u201d and \u201cin conformity with applicable laws.\u201d The state\u2019s sole operator, DraftKings, is currently accepting bets on LIV events.<\/p>\n
In Connecticut, bettors can wager on anything that meets the state\u2019s definition of a sport but not on events with predetermined outcomes, such as professional wrestling or the Academy Awards. That leaves the door open to including LIV, but operators there are not currently accepting bets on the league.<\/p>\n
We do permit the licensed sports wagering operators in Connecticut to offer wagering on LIV Golf, as their tournaments do meet the definition of \u2018sporting event\u2019 under the law,\u201d said Kaitlyn Krasselt, communications director for the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, in an email to Casino.org. \u201cAs of today (7\/14\/23) none of the licensed operators are accepting any wagers on the LIV market, but they are permitted to do so. It is up to the operators to decide if that\u2019s something they would like to offer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Other states do not currently authorize bets on LIV but are leaving the door open to the possibility.<\/p>\n
In Pennsylvania, each operator submits a proprietary list of events to state regulators for approval, but the list of approvals is not available to the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cLIV golf is currently not approved for wagering, though that could certainly change in the future,\u201d Doug Harbach, Communications Director for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, told Casino.org in an email. \u201cAs for our process to determine what can be wagered upon, PGCB staff reviews a myriad of different information.\u00a0 This can include the history and the background of governing body, the schedule of events, amateur vs. professional, participation by those under the legal gambling age, integrity policies in place, past integrity concerns, and wagering options to be available, to name a few.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Ongoing controversy around a potential partnership between Saudi-backed LIV Golf and the PGA Tour has created a patchwork of rules in legal sports betting markets in the U.S. At least 12 of the 37 states with legal sportsbooks prohibit wagering on LIV Golf events, while eight have specifically approved betting on the upstart league, according […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":102,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[82965,61,1074],"tags":[81818,83245,82336,81901,83720],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
