No, on October 21, 2022, Nebraska took a crucial step towards legalizing sports betting when the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission unanimously endorsed new regulations to include sports wagering at operational casinos. However, these formal recommendations by the NRGC do not guarantee the legalization of sports betting in Nebraska. The process requires further approval from the Attorney General's office, the Governor's signature, and ratification by the Secretary of State. Voters in Nebraska had previously shown support for legalizing "all games of chance" through a ballot on November 3, 2020. Following this, with additional amendments concerning sports betting and other gambling activities at licensed racetrack venues, Governor Pete Ricketts signed Bill LB 561 into law, paving the way for the current developments.
