South Carolina Introduces Bills To Legalize Advanced Deposit Wagering Apps

Bills filed in both the Senate and the House of South Carolina seek to legalize advanced deposit wagering apps, reports the Associated Press.

Rep. Russell Ott (D) announced the bills at a press conference, suggesting that a commission would oversee the companies running the online app.

He also suggested that 10 percent of profits would be returned to the state for use to develop horse therapy programs for veterans, public equestrian trails, and horse care programs for inmates or troubled teens.

“We are not talking about opening casinos,” Ott said. “We're not talking about different forms of brick and mortar or bookies or even walking up to a teller at a horse race and placing a bet.”
