No, March 2020 marked the arrival of legal sports betting in Montana, with Governor Steve Bullock enacting HB725. This legislation amended the state's lottery laws to include provisions for sports wagering. Although Montana has embraced mobile betting, it comes with a restriction. Governor Bullock chose not to pursue a competitive market framework within the state. Instead, the state lottery, utilizing a platform run by the Greek company Intralot, was directly given the contract, bypassing any form of public tender.
