New Hampshire introduces senate bill to legalize online casino
A group of New Hampshire lawmakers is pushing to add the state to the small footprint of US online casino markets.
New Hampshire is one of the only four states to set its legal age for online betting at 18.
Supporters of the bill contend that the appetite for gambling is large enough that a new online option would expand the number of people who would wager, rather than shift gaming habits away from brick and mortar facilities.
Senators Timothy Lang, Daniel Innis, Howard Pearl, and Keith Murphy introduced SB 168 earlier this month, which would legalize online casino gambling in New Hampshire. Last week, the bill was referred to the Ways and Means Committee.
New Hampshire lawmakers have attempted online casino legalization in the past. In 2023, a Lang-sponsored bill passed the Senate but did not see legs in the House.
