MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Legal sports betting has begun in Milwaukee.
Potawatomi Hotel & Casino opened its sportsbook Friday morning – the first legal place in Milwaukee to bet on sports. Mayor Cavalier Johnson placed the first bet; $20 on the Milwaukee Bucks to win the NBA Finals.
The temporary sportsbook will be replaced by a larger facility in early 2024. The Oneida Casino in Green Bay launched its sportsbook in late 2021. Both tribal nations renegotiated their gaming compacts with the state to offer sports betting.
