The first to join included BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, and Tennessee Action 24/7. Caesars Sportsbook, WynnBET, Barstool Sportsbook, Wagr, SuperBook Sports, and Betly have followed suit.
Fubo Sportsbook and Bally Bet are preparing to make their entrance in the Tennessee market in the near future. Tennessee currently allows only mobile sports betting.
