Current Gambling Laws in Tennessee

Since the Supreme Court overruled on the legitimacy of the PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) in 2018, it’s been open season for states wanting to push ahead with legal sports betting.

Tennessee joined a long list of states in 2019 when it passed the Tennessee Sports Gaming Act. Though it became law in July 2019, the first legal sportsbooks aren’t expected until October 2020. 

And with no land-based casinos or retail sportsbooks in Tennessee, gamblers will have to make bets on their mobile phones or online.
