Former Gov. Rick Perry supports legalizing mobile sports betting in Texas

The Texas Sports Betting Alliance has hired a powerful spokesman: former Governor Rick Perry. The alliance is comprised of the sports betting platforms and the state's professional sports teams. They want to legalize mobile sports gambling in Texas. Texas is not one of 35 states that allow it. Before it can become law, the Texas Constitution needs to be changed. The issue will be voted on by the voters. A recent audit by Colorado found some issues with its mobile gaming industry. It included not implementing proper controls to determine whether the revenue estimates are accurate.
