HB 519 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Mobile sports wagering; authorize.

HB 519 would allow mobile sports betting through apps and websites by defining "digital platforms" (such as websites or mobile apps) that operate sports pools or race books online. The bill revises licensing fees to be based on a platform's total revenue and removes a ban on fantasy contests using college sports performance. It directly affects sports betting operators, the Mississippi Gaming Commission (which would regulate these platforms), and the state (through revised fee structures). The bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
