Sports Betting Overview: Tennessee

Tennessee took a unique approach to sports betting legalization — the state passed legislation in 2019 and launched an online-only market in November 2020 with no retail component at all. Tennessee was the first state to operate a solely mobile sports betting market. The law originally included a controversial 10% hold requirement, which was later adjusted. Tennessee allows wagering on professional and college sports with standard restrictions. Nashville's growing sports scene, including the Titans, Predators, and Nashville SC, along with passionate Volunteers and Commodores college fan bases, drives strong market engagement. Over a dozen operators compete in the state.
