BetMGM Opens in Indiana with Plan to Compete Against DraftKings, FanDuel in Lucrative Sports Betting Market. Posted on: February 27, 2020, 03:16h. Sports betting in Indiana is regulated by The Indiana Gaming Commission. With that, Indiana has regulations that may differ from other states. DraftKings Sportsbook offers dozens of American and international sports for users to bet on. DraftKings understands that when it comes to online gambling it is important to choose a partner that offers multiple choices. So it’s no wonder that the company launched its online casino in New Jersey with Atlantic City’s Resorts Casino Hotel. When it added its Pennsylvania online casino site in May 2020, it teamed up with both Meadows and Hollywood Casino. Learn more about DraftKings Sportsbook's casino partners. We are regulated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement as an Internet gaming operator in accordance with the Casino Control Act N.J.S.A. 5:12-1 and its implementing regulations.
The authorization from the Indiana Gaming Commission means DraftKings and Ameristar will join Rush Street Interactive and French Lick Casino as the first operators to launch mobile betting in Indiana on Thursday.
Sara Gonso Tait, executive director for the Indiana Gaming Commission, tells Legal Sports Report that she expects one more mobile operator to receive authorization in October. Thirteen Indiana casinos have launched retail sportsbooks.
“These are the two we’ve been spending our time on,” Tait said. “There will probably be one more likely to launch in October, but I think that’s still a few weeks off.”
In-person registration is not required to create and fund a mobile wagering account in Indiana.
