Oregon residents may not be able to legally place any bets on the Super Bowl this Sunday, but all that should change by next year. In fact, regulators there are hoping to have a new sports betting platform in place by the time the 2019 NFL season kicks off.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Oregon Lottery says it aims to have NFL betting options up and running by this September on its mobile betting app. That app launched last fall<\/a>, and it was expected that some sports betting options would be available on mobile devices by the end of 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t turn out that way, but it seems officials are still keen to stem the flow of sports betting revenue trickling offshore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s in the black market,”<\/strong> Oregon Lottery spokesperson Matthew Shelby told KATU News. “The question that we’re looking at is should there be a regulated, state-run way for people to do that?”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Limited Roll Out<\/span><\/h2>\n

Without making any guarantees, Shelby did go as far as to reveal a framework for what legalized betting on the NFL would look like in the state. <\/span><\/p>\n
