Nebraska voters have rejected two ballot measures that would have legalized online sports betting, despite significant campaign spending from major gambling companies like DraftKings and FanDuel. The measures, which required both to pass to become law, aimed to generate tax revenue and provide property tax relief, with supporters promising up to $166 million in relief over a decade. Opponents argued that the projected revenue and tax savings were modest and would not substantially impact property tax bills, while research highlighted potential negative financial consequences for households with increased gambling participation.
