For years, lawmakers have pushed sports betting in the Green Mountain state, but efforts to legalize it have failed so far. A bill made it to a Senate committee in 2022 that would have legalized retail and online betting under state lottery control, allowing up to six online sportsbooks, but it did not receive a vote in either the Senate or House. With New York and Canada now legal and Massachusetts legalizing soon, Vermont will soon be surrounded by sports betting, which may be what finally gets legalized sports betting to the finish line.
