Vermont's Senate finance committee has approved an amended version of the legal sports betting bill that proposes a minimum of two and a maximum of six online sports betting licenses, with betting to be regulated by the Department of Liquor and Lottery, which will be responsible for negotiating with operators over their contract length and payment requirements.
The amendment includes a provision that prohibits sportsbooks from advertising during events primarily for people under the age of 21, as well as promoting responsible gaming and a new problem gambling fund to be financed by 5% of the sports betting receipts.
