If you’re unfamiliar with legal sports betting in the United States, let’s recap a few important points. Legal sports betting, and top sports betting apps like Hard Rock Bet are not available in every state. Each specific state must individually pursue legislation and make their own laws. Tennessee has done this – online sports betting in Tennessee is completely legal.

Overall, Tennessee’s sports betting law reflects a forward-thinking approach to gaming regulation. It embraces online technology while implementing robust measures to protect consumers and uphold the integrity of sports betting. Let’s take a look at some of the specifics:

Online-Only Model

Tennessee was the first state to legalize online only sports betting. This means that residents and visitors can place bets exclusively through online platforms or mobile apps like Hard Rock Bet. Retail, in-person sportsbooks are NOT legal in the state of Tennessee. All bets must be placed online through a licensed operator.

Licensing and Regulation

States that elect to legalize sports betting appoint a regulatory body to oversee the industry. The Tennessee Sports Wagering Council (SWC) is responsible for licensing and regulating sports betting operators in Tennessee. To operate legally, sports betting operators must obtain a license from the SWC. They must also comply with regulations regarding player protection, responsible gaming measures, and financial transparency. Hard Rock Bet is licensed with the SWC and approved to accept legal bets in the state of Tennessee.

Consumer Protections

Tennessee’s sports betting law includes provisions aimed at protecting consumers and ensuring the integrity of sports betting. These provisions include measures to prevent underage gambling and combat problem gambling through responsible gaming initiatives. They also safeguard the integrity of sports events through monitoring and enforcement mechanisms. Hard Rock Bet offers a multitude of tools for Tennessee bettors to use and regulate their sports betting experience.

Authorized Sports and Events

Tennessee allows betting on a wide range of sports and events, including professional and collegiate sports. However, there are restrictions on certain types of wagers, such as proposition bets involving college athletes or teams. Namely, you can’t place live wagers, or bet props specifically involving individual college player performance.

In Tennessee, sports bettors have access to a diverse range of sports and events to wager on, catering to a wide variety of interests and preferences. Some of the most popular include:

• Football: Betting on football is among the biggest draws for sports betting in Tennessee. Tennessee has the Titans and a variety of popular college football teams… and obviously you can bet on teams outside fo the state, too.
• Basketball: Basketball is another hugely important betting market in Tennessee. Hard Rock Bet offers opportunities to wager on professional leagues like the NBA and college basketball. Some teams to watch out for include the Memphis Grizzlies and Tennessee Volunteers.
• Hockey: Tennessee sportsbooks also provide betting options for NHL games, allowing fans to support their favorite hockey teams – like the Nashville Predators.
• Baseball: Baseball is America’s pastime, and betting on baseball is becoming an integral part of the modern experience. Baseball is a fantastic sport to bet on because sportsbooks in Tennessee offer tons of markets, the season is long, and there are tons of games. While Tennessee will have to wait a little longer for a team of their own, there’s not shortage of action on the diamond.
• Soccer: Soccer is an extremely popular sport in the state of Tennessee. From foreign leagues like the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and the Bundesliga, to the World Cup, Euros, Copa America, and other international tournaments – Hard Rock Bet offers odds and action on the lot of them.
