DraftKings, FanDuel Spend Millions to Legalize Mobile Betting in Nebraska

Sportsbook giants DraftKings and FanDuel have pumped $10.4 million each into a campaign to legalize mobile sports betting in Nebraska, as voters prepare to decide the issue on Tuesday (Nov. 3). This accounts for almost all the money raised by Tax Relief Nebraska, the committee supporting two sports-betting initiatives on the ballot. The campaign had collected nearly $22.5 million by Oct. 29, according to campaign finance figures reported Monday by the Nebraska Examiner . Fanatics and BetMGM have also contributed, while millions of dollars have gone toward television advertising and other campaigning.
