A recently proposed bill would legalize online betting in New Hampshire. Revenue would allow many of the state’s students to attend community colleges for free.<\/p>\n

The legislation, SB 104, was filed by state Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Tim Lang (R-Sanbornton). The bill is expected to raise $17 million for college tuition in the first year, the New Hampshire Union Leader<\/em> reported, based on a state study.<\/p>\n

Under the bill, the state\u2019s lottery would oversee the betting. If approved, the law would take effect on Jan. 1, 2024. Currently, only a handful of other states allow for online betting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Money could be applied to purchasing class books, fees, and tuition. It would be limited to New Hampshire residents who qualify for collegiate financial aid via Federal Pell Grants. The state\u2019s economy would also benefit, as community college graduates would get the education and training needed to meet job requirements.<\/p>\n

The bill has some bipartisan support, including Sen. David Watters (D-Dover).<\/p>\n

There is some opposition to the New Hampshire proposal. Concerns have been voiced about what would happen to revenue generated by the state\u2019s 13 brick-and-mortar charitable casinos.<\/p>\n

Land-Based Venues at Risk<\/h2>\n

In other states, online betting has negatively impacted brick-and-mortar gaming venues.<\/p>\n

We think it’s too soon to pursue another dramatic change in New Hampshire, and instead, we support a study of online gaming,”<\/strong> Peter Bragdon, who represents Churchill Downs, was quoted by the Union Leader.<\/em> He is a former president of the New Hampshire state Senate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Churchill Downs owns Chasers Poker Room in Salem, NH, the largest charitable casino in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

New charitable casinos<\/a> were proposed recently in two New Hampshire communities: Concord<\/a> and Lebanon. Local officials are currently reviewing proposals. Charitable casinos require 35% of gross revenue from the gaming property to be donated to approved charities every 10 days.<\/p>\n

Lang also introduced the bill that legalized sports betting<\/a> in the state. New Hampshire became the 14th state to launch legal sports betting in 2019.<\/p>\n

DraftKings is New Hampshire\u2019s solitary online and land-based sportsbook. Rebecca London, a government affairs manager for DraftKings, says Lang\u2019s bill would benefit players who would be able to place legal bets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“By legalizing it … with the lottery, we have that regulator to ensure we have the funds to pay our customers,” London said.<\/p>\n

Records for New Hampshire Lottery<\/h2>\n

In September, the New Hampshire Lottery reported a sales record of more than $536.5 million during the 2022 fiscal year. That’s 3.3% more than the previous record of $519 million set in 2021.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s lottery provided a record $146.3 million for education in the 2021 fiscal year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since its start in 1964, the New Hampshire Lottery has donated more than $2.45 billion to education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
