NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — The Tennessee Education Lottery Board of Directors approved rules and processes to establish sports wagering rules in Tennessee.

Potential licensees and registrants will be able to access applications on the TEL website next week. The TEL Board will have 90 days to approve or deny an application once it has been determined complete in accordance with the Tennessee Sports Gaming Act of 2019.

There are no restrictions on the number of licenses that may be issued for interactive sports gaming operations, but licensees and suppliers must meet suitability requirements.

“These rules reflect the significant work that went into establishing the processes and requirements for licensing and regulating interactive sports wagering in Tennessee. The Board thanks the TEL and the Sports Wagering Advisory Council for their thoughtful help and guidance,” Board Chair Susan Lanigan said.  

Tennessee state law permits wagering on sporting events via the internet, mobile device or other telecommunication platforms. All players must be at least 21 years old to place a wager.
