Tennessee sports betting laws

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.
