Wisconsin's new sports betting bill aims to boost gambling tax revenue by 10% using a 'hub-and-spoke' model, allowing online bets from anywhere in the state. Despite bipartisan support, the Ho-Chunk Nation opposes the bill, citing illegal gambling concerns. As online betting gains popularity, gambling issues rise, with 7.5 million U.S. adults struggling with addiction. Senator Dassler-Alfheim acknowledges risks but emphasizes the bill's goal of providing entertainment access while ensuring support for those with gambling problems.
