Bettors can now legally place a wager on the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Bucks and other teams from a casino in Ashwaubenon.
The Oneida Nation opened its sportsbook operation Tuesday inside the tribe’s main casino near Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport. It is the first location in Wisconsin where people can legally wager on professional and college sporting events, except those featuring Wisconsin-based colleges.
Bettors have been able to wager, though not legally, on sporting events through operations based outside the United States.
“Sports betting is nothing new in the state of Wisconsin,” Oneida Vice Chairman Brandon Stevens said Tuesday morning. “But legal sports gambling is.”
