It’s information overload everywhere, and there’s not time enough to sleep and eat and stay fully apprised of what’s happening on this crazy blue dot of ours (two out of three ain’t bad). Here’s the weekend Sports Handle item, “Get a Grip,” recapping the week’s top U.S. sports betting stories, highlighting some fresh news, and rounding up key stories. Also check out this week’s Wild World of Gambling at US Bets.

What’s up in Maine?

Two weeks ago, the Maine House voted to enact a sports betting bill, LD 1352, on what appeared to be one of the final days of this session. The bill was immediately sent to the state’s Appropriations Table for review before progress came to a screeching halt. Stakeholders expected the bill to be taken up this week, but the state legislature didn’t have any full floor sessions. The bill could be considered Monday, when both the House and Senate have full floor sessions scheduled.

LD 1352 would allow for statewide mobile sports betting and would require digital platforms to be tethered to existing gaming facilities. The engrossed version of the bill was passed by both chambers on June 18, but it must be passed as enacted by both before it can be sent to Gov. Janet Mills for action. The last time a sports betting bill landed on Mills’ desk in 2019, she vetoed it six months later.
