Wisconsin’s hub and spoke model offers a practical framework for expanding sports betting while respecting tribal control and existing gaming agreements. Built on a centralized platform supported by multiple tribal operators, the model raises critical questions about governance, regulatory authority, revenue alignment, and operational responsibility. This discussion examines how the structure works in practice, what has enabled cooperation among tribes, and whether Wisconsin’s approach provides a scalable path forward for tribes evaluating statewide or regional sports betting strategies.
