Indiana Online Casino Bill Likely Dead in 2023
An Indiana online casino appears to have died of neglect. HB1536 hasn’t had a hearing, and Feb. 21 was the deadline for that to happen.

Online Casino Legalization in 2023 – What Are the Odds for NY, IL, and IN?
Sadly, 2022 has been a dud of a year when it comes to states legalizing online casino. At least 2021 saw Connecticut legalize and launch within the same calendar year. Before that, we have to go back to Michigan, and the tail end of 2019, to see an iGaming bill receive a governor’s signature. Of course, lawmakers have had a few […]
There’s a Lot to Love in the First Draft of Indiana’s 2023 iGaming Bill
