The Minnesota Senate has introduced a new bill that could legalize online sports betting in the state. Senate File 4139 was filed on March 5 and proposes a market controlled by Native American tribes.

Key Details of the Bill

  • Up to 11 online sportsbook licenses for tribes that already operate Class III casinos in Minnesota
  • 22% tax on net sports betting revenue
  • Minimum betting age of 21
  • Regulation by the state commissioner of public safety

The bill also bans college athlete prop bets, prohibits using credit cards to fund betting accounts, and limits sportsbook push notifications to security alerts and responsible gambling reminders.

Before launch, the state must conduct a study to measure current gambling activity and the prevalence of problem gambling.

The proposal has bipartisan support but faces competition with other legislative priorities this session.
