| Lawmakers in Wyoming are to assess a new bill that aims to legalise online and mobile sports wagering in the US state. Sponsored by Representative Tom Walters and Senator Ogden Driskill, House Bill 0225 was introduced in the Wyoming House yesterday (February 12).

These permits would be valid for a period of 12 months, after which licence-holders would face an annual renewal fee of $10,000. Read the full story on iGB North America.
