Gambling Commission Chair Bud Sizemore, said in a prepared statement: "There is still a lot of work before the first regulated sportsbook opens in our state, however I'm hopeful sports wagering can launch before the NFL regular season begins." However, there will be no online or mobile gaming options outside the walls of the authorized tribal casino resorts. The allowed sports to bet upon include top-level professional leagues, the Olympic Games and other international events, college athletics with the exception of no betting on games involving in-state schools, plus competitive video gaming. The Washington State Gambling Commission and the Tulalip Tribes announced a tentative agreement Friday to usher in legal sports betting to a limited degree. At least four other tribes are in advanced talks with the state Gambling Commission to open their own sports betting operations. It will be inside one of the two Tulalip tribal casinos alongside Interstate 5. Nearly a year after the Washington Legislature voted to legalize sports betting, terms have been agreed for the first sportsbook to open.
